News: Techcrunch | Mastodon says its flagship server was hit by a DDoS attack

"The millions of malicious requests it has seen are consistent with the pattern of a distributed Denial of Service attack."

The attack was mitigated within 2 hours.

“This is a case where the decentralized nature of the Fediverse is a true advantage... Users with accounts on other Mastodon (or any other Fediverse) servers were completely unaffected... "

@ltrlp Eine eigene Mastodon-Instanz wäre doch mal etwas für die digitale Souveränität des Landes Rheinland-Pfalz. Wenn wir schon nicht die ersten sind, könnten wir es wenigstens dem Land Schleswig-Holstein nachmachen:

Haben wir eigentlich einen CIO wie @CIO?

Det är inga som helst problem att följa en WordPress-blogg i Fediversum. Det krävs förstås att Wordpress-bloggen har ActivityPub aktiverat. Det går lätt att följa från Mastodon, Pixelfed,  Friendica och Hubzilla. Jag har testat med min vanliga blogg och med min fiskeblogg. Fast från ett Friendicakonto går det bara att följa användarkonton och inte hela bloggen.

As requested - a few ideas from me!

Making feature requests for Mastodon on #GitHub

I understand comments being made on feature requests at GitHub.

What I have experienced is something else. I'm not sure I can articulate it.

These comments seem different.

Sort of like a discussion forum thread.

Random people popping in. Kibbitzing. Being oppositional as an end in itself.

What the hell? I just wanted to make a suggestion. I didn't invite them.

I don't even know if they are involved with the project.
