I await the week of dreadful news when they start using their immense wealth to take down instances via DDoS attacks, one by one...

    I don't know; I have neither the interest nor time to run one, and I have seen at least one go down recently (Lemmy.one) partly because of how complicated the whole system actually is. Individual enthusiasts may not have the resources to keep up against the long-term might of Meta, Reddit, etc. if they develop dedicated attack teams.

    Hope springs eternal, though.

    I think lemmy.today has been getting hit by bots. I remember someone mentioning the attack increasing over time.

    Yeah its a bit slower sometimes during the attacks but seems to stay up. Admin posted they blocked some chinese ip ranges due to massive bot crawlings so maybe someone got upset. :)

    Yeah i should look into hosting my own just in case but I'm not tech savvy enough and don't have the time to learn at the moment.

    Still to busy trying to not go to jail from running my own company and never being sure if I'm doing tax stuff right
