Since it is not designed for individual selfhosters, I'm wondering if any groups are actively attempting to run it together? Idea sounds cool, but I'm wondering about practical execution.

Imagine a federated system that allows everyone to host this and everyone can vote on a designated target

Ticketmaster is being a dick? Vote! Ticketmaster is now ddossed until it makes hard changes to its policies and brings prices down to like 10% of what it is today

Boeing continues to focus on money only, not safety? Ddos until it changes

The Cheeto is murdering innocent people again? The entire world will ddos everything US until he's removed.

I know this won't ever happen, but I see this as potentially useful in making the world a better place for everyone

Not sure if this is a joke, but if not this software is to help protect *against* ddos attacks, not for running them ๐Ÿ˜‚

The title also had me confused.

What you're talking about has existed for decades at this point. Most grey/black hat forums rightfully ban collective ddos tools when they see them. Turns out that the difference between duplicating a copyrighted work, and actively attacking a private server are vastly different, legally speaking, and get prosecuted a lot more forcefully when found.
