Aaaaaand it's back as of 8:52 PST
Bro. Someone does not want this thing to be.
They should shut it down permanently
i have a question in mind: are ddos attacks really cheap ? i mean attacking lemmy.world only is kinda pointless, rest of instances need to be attacked too if they want lemmy down, but i am no expert on this subject, so just asking :/
We can't know for sure without knowing the details, but it's not that expensive according to securelist.com:
A DDoS attack lasting 10,800 seconds will cost the client $60, or approximately $20 per hour
