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 Okay. I'm going to sign up for it. But: if the email address that I'm going to use for that receives ANYTHING, EVER not related to this particular event, then I'm going to be very unhappy and will do my best to see that Fastly ends up on every blacklist.
