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
Mitigating DDOS in the Fediverse with Mastodon | Fastly

Experts from Mastodon and Fastly’s CSOC team share lessons learned from mitigating DDOS attacks on Mastodon Social and techniques for protecting federated architectures.

@anildash @Mastodon @devs would love to talk to you sometime about what it takes just to make the internet ~work~
@mimsical @Mastodon @devs yeah! I think about that a lot, we have this extraordinary and unlikely pile of absurdities that make the whole thing happen. Drop me a line to [email protected], would love to chat.
