Can’t post images because they’re too big so here’s imgur: https://imgur.com/a/Fm52ZTB
Edit: lemmy.ml and lemmy.world seem to have come back, I’m just a bit worried that it’s another one of those hacks.
Edit 2: Most of those I’ve tried came back. reddthat.com and sh.itjust.works seems to still be down
All instances using federation are publicly visible and it’s simple to script attacking all of us.
However it’s even easier to just attack Lemmy.world since almost everyone is there and it will have maximum disruption on everyone. People have centralized on one server. :)
But it’s just some denial of service attacks right now. Eventually they probably get tired of it too. There is no point to it really.
