As part of the devs farewell message on their site, they have included malicious code to make each visitor sends 2,000 requests to the dbzer0 servers in an attempt to DDOS and take the instance offline.

MODERATORS
I think he explained the trans related instances were not blocked because trans but because their admins did not moderate the calls for violence he wanted to filter.
Blahaj does remove calls to violence imo. He had additional petty reasons like how blahaj gave A.N. an endorsement saying "well-moderated" after the previous A.N. admin in question was no longer an admin.
Didn’t the call for violence happened to be just a mod from another instance that had “death to zionism” that stepped down after he was called out?
That's roughly what I remember: the threats were against "zionists" or "genociders" or similar, not any particular user by name, but this guy basically told on himself by interpreting it personally anyway.
(It's possible I'm unaware of other, more egregious, behavior as the situation escalated, but I think this was at least the thing that started the pearl-clutching initially.)
