Yeah, I’m running a Lemmy instance maybe we missed out on the bulk of it but it’s been pretty sad over here as far as being able to call it an attack.

    Do you have open registration? If not, you probably benefitted from other mods work on this one.

    From the article they said smaller unattended instances were the primary target. So you might not have been one of the instances targeted, and if you don't have open registration and/or have captcha on then it wouldn't be an issue either.

    The spam was still an issue period. It hit every instance regardless of what you’re saying.
