The funny thing about these DDos attacks on Lemmy World is that the hackers seem to forget that other instances exist.

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.

On the bright side, it makes people go to other instances instead of centralizing most the lemmy users on one big one

I think the bigger issue is many of the apps that are coming out (which imo would be the main point of entry for less techy users) point to lemmy.world as the default instance.
