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?
All this DDoS has done is convince millions of people that a decentralized social network is more persistent than Big Social -- and with *less* monetary investment too.
So if that's your intent, good job 👍
You sure showed everyone!
The response from the DDoS hasn't been, "Grr! Mastodon sucks!"
It's been, "Wow! It's so cool how Mastodon works!"
