This is completely counter productive to growing Lemmy. I absolutely despise discord. Look at the network traffic it generates and tell me wtf they are doing. They wonโ€™t tell you. Their business model will leave you completely dumbfounded as to how they exist. Everything shared on the platform is lost in a black hole unavailable to the outside world and everything shared is a privacy nightmare. Posting this, pinning it here, and locking it is one of the biggest trolls possible. It pisses me off every time I log in. โ€œEveryone else does itโ€ is the excuse of idiots. Discord makes absolutely no sense to anyone that actually cares to look into it, read the user agreement, and ask sane questions about what they are doing.

So what I understand is that youโ€™re proposing to play cat and mouse with DDOS attackers then?

Or are you saying that Mastodon is as DDoS vulnerable as Lemmy, making the server that would host the LW account a DDoS target?

Exactly.

Just to clarify, if someone is targeting LW, and Mastodon is as DDoS vulnerable as Lemmy, why wouldnโ€™t they attack mastodon.world as well?

Mastodon.world has 99,97% uptime: https://status.mastodon.world/

Because itโ€™s not being advertised as LWโ€™s alternative communication channel, hence they likely donโ€™t see the need to target it.
