Okay, Mastodon friends, I rarely ask for amplification about my day job, but I personally pushed for my employer to make a big investment in enabling the fediverse, and I'd love for everyone to show that the support is appreciated. On June 28, you can join us for a (FREE!) hands-on conversation about how the Fastly team worked to support @Mastodon while the service was under a *massive* DDOS attack. Everyone who cares about scaling the fediverse should join: https://learn.fastly.com/security-mitigating-ddos-and-traffic-surges-with-mastodon @devs

@anildash @Mastodon @devs Good call. DDoS protection like this is exactly the kind of thing we'll need as it scales up. It'll be impossible to knock out the entire Fediverse, but individual servers are much more vulnerable. I don't need it for my own little server, but if I ever have to scale, I'm glad to have you guys on side.
