Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Heard it was DDoS attacks, which seems pretty likely. Another benefit to using a smaller instance (or hosting your own), you don't have to worry about this stuff

Hopefully they don't try to mess with Beehaw, y'all are too nice :)

But you can still DDoS with federation. I'm not sure how we'd avoid breaking the idea that anyone can make a server and start federating immediately. Federation naturally is an automated task, so can't get past this protection.
