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.
Or ThreatX, I believe they are more inexpensive than CF
Elon
Probably just a terrible person who is bored
As a terrible person who is bored, that seems like too much work
Huffman/Musk
I couldn’t load anything on Mlem for a few minutes but other than that it’s just been slow for me
That lmao dude that kept creating spam communities?
inb4 lemmygrad
Spez maybe?
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.
You mean his employees?
No, I mean his fanbois. His employees would get paid to do that stuff and then there would also again be a way for him to bear the consequences. His fanbois don’t get paid and he doesn’t bear the risk.
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.
Yes something like Cloudflare would be very good. Even I have it on my tiny test instance.
It definitely works with Lemmy, but that could certainly explain an issue I’ve been having with kbin!
