Raids
What a raid is, how raids work, and how TSHE defines one.
Active protection
Lyxia actively block, contain, and clean up after attacks on TSHE. It has stopped over 500 raids and attacks. Security-sensitive detection details are deliberately not published.
What is a raid?
A raid is a coordinated, high-volume attack designed to overwhelm a server. Raiders do not try to destroy the structure of the server; they try to flood it so normal conversation is impossible and the community is disrupted.
Common raid behaviour
- Spamming — posting repeated, identical, or low-quality messages as fast as possible.
- Mass joins — many accounts joining at once, often created or controlled to overwhelm verification and moderation.
- Mass mentions — pinging multiple members, roles, or @everyone to cause disruption.
- Flooding — filling channels with images, reactions, stickers, or off-topic content.
| Attack | What it targets | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Spam raid | Channels and DMs | Flood chat so it becomes unusable |
| Mass-join raid | Membership and verification | Overwhelm onboarding and moderation |
| Mass-mention raid | Pings and notifications | Notify and annoy many members at once |
A raid is a volume attack: it tries to break the server by adding noise, not by deleting things.
How TSHE handles raids
- Lyxia detect join spikes, spam velocity, and mass mentions in real time.
- Verified members are protected with role and permission controls.
- Raid accounts can be rate-limited, timed out, quarantined, or removed in bulk.
- Authorized staff can activate containment and clean-up workflows without exposing detections.
