Thanks for the update, but this breaks rule #1 - it's not a question and the community is Ask Lemmy. We can leave this up for a few hours so that there's a central place to chat.

No problem, your call. I knew this is mostly outside of the community rules but assumed that a bunch of “what’s going on with lemmy.world?” questions will pop up quickly so might as well cross post it here. Feel free to remove when this blows over.

Then change the title of the post to something open-ended like "How vulnerable is Lemmy to DDOS attacks?". Taking out a major node which hosts many key communities is going to have an adverse impact.
