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.
Because of the unfortunate centralisation that’s happened, with so many people being directed to lemmy.world or choosing to go there, a big DDoS attack on world would disrupt a lot of communities that people on other instances use. It’s in everyone’s interests to spread the load more, which is why I find it sad when some communities migrate to world. UnixPorn was one, although it was already on lemmy.ml which is a larger instance too
Yeah, there’s so many communities on world that even if you’re on another instance, a good chunk of content just isn’t available.
On the bright side, it makes people go to other instances instead of centralizing most the lemmy users on one big one
Lemmy…world? Huh. I never saw an instance like that.
No worries, they’re just being considerate by “preemptively saving” all hexbears from the inconvenience of experiencing constant outage every day.
The power of decentralization.
They don’t have a script for that.
