Thanks for the update, but this breaks rule #1 - it’s not a question and the community is Ask Lemmy. We can leave this up for a few hours so that there’s a central place to chat.

No need, there’s enough other better suited places where news like this can be discussed.

No problem, your call. I knew this is mostly outside of the community rules but assumed that a bunch of “what’s going on with lemmy.world?” questions will pop up quickly so might as well cross post it here. Feel free to remove when this blows over.

Then change the title of the post to something open-ended like “How vulnerable is Lemmy to DDOS attacks?”. Taking out a major node which hosts many key communities is going to have an adverse impact.

Who would be so pissed at lemmy.world to DDoS them?

They might want to consider using Cloudflare or a similar solution if they don’t already.

Brands don’t have to do shit like this. They have weird trolls with weirder parasocial relationships to intellectual property to do it for them, unprompted.

It’s the rise spezkin. Super Reddit Hyper Loyalists so invested in their upcoming karma farming fortunes that any threat to Reddit gets met with scorched earth tactics.

…I’m only kidding, I hope this doesn’t become a thing.

he’s an astroturfer though, is he really low enough to stoop to ddos? thankfully the fediverse is diverse and resilient to attacks to any one instance lol

He’d be. But his fanbois already do that for him so he doesn’t have to do it himself and worry about consequences.

Yes something like Cloudflare would be very good. Even I have it on my tiny test instance.

It doesn’t break federation? I recall it broke federation for kbin, thought it’d be the same for Lemmy sue to the underlying tech being the same.

It definitely works with Lemmy, but that could certainly explain an issue I’ve been having with kbin!
