The funny thing about these DDos attacks on Lemmy World is that the hackers seem to forget that other instances exist. (lemmy.ml)

If they're trying to attack all of Lemmy, or the whole Fediverse, they're doing it wrong. lol

It's like obvious spam emails that put no effort into appearing legitimate. You have the spirit of it, but your heart is in the wrong place.

Why aren't these things behind Cloudflare? Boggles the mind.

AFAIK enabling cloudfare's anti-DDoS breaks federation quite a bit.

Kbin.social had to enable it during reddit migration to stop the server from crashing due to all the traffic and it made it pointless trying to interact with other instances and fediplatforms.
