    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.

              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 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!
