Mastodawn

So mastodon.social was under a DDoS attack.

@Gargron confirms this.

Someone out there doesn't like the Fediverse.

But also, if they thought that taking down mastodon.social would take down the Fediverse, then they were incredibly foolish!

The Fediverse is built on redundancies.

This isn't like Twitter where a Fail Whale would bring down the entire social network.

I really want to know what brand of troll the DDoS attacker was.

An Elon stan? A MAGA nut? A re-centralist?

All of the above?

@atomicpoet Russian trolls are also a possibility. They are already attacking an Ukrainian server.
