Literally
+ Sudan is in the middle of a civil war right now
+when it does come back don’t forget to send ur love to the writers to remind them ur still there.
Also send all ur support to the volunteers trying to stop the attack they must be exhausted.
I mean, I do reblog a lot of “haha ao3 down I guess we die” jokes but actually the fax are
It will come back
We will be survive it’s absence, even though it might be hard
All fear-mongering about it’s absence will just make the hackers win
The hackers will tire out soon (ddos attacks cost money and resources to maintain)
Go outside and touch grass
I’ll go outside and touch grass
Love and peace to us ao3 girlies
I may be many things and a Nikki-Stan is one. Go Nikki🩵🩵🩵
Yes, Ao3 is down because of a cybersecurity attack.
Yes, the group is claiming to be Sudanese Muslims (Sudan Anonymous). No, this is not true.
This group has been identified as a Russian hacker group intent on sowing dissent between the world under the guise of “strengthening Middle East relations”. They targeted Ao3 because of its pro-LGBTQIA+ stories. Again, they are Russians sowing anger.
Do NOT be Islamophobic. Do NOT use this as an opportunity to whine about how you didn’t have time to finish reading a fic.
Ao3 is run by volunteers who are currently under siege by Russian hackers. Take this time to step back from the site, appreciate their work, write your own fics, or read a physical book.
If I see ANY Islamophobic rhetoric by any of my followers, I will pop your dumbass into my shit list and block you into the high heavens.
It’s not done but I got new acrylic paint and I want something on the back of my sketchbook lol
