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

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.

Not in the way you think. Yes, you can still comment and post in your own instances version, but for other instances to see it it'll have to go through lemmy.world first and forwarded on. I think it's a bit murky when it comes to comment replies, though, I believe those do get propagated directly to the instance originating the comment (i.e. if a beehaw.org person comments and you reply, they get it sent directly), but you can see how disruptive it is.
