Heard it was DDoS attacks, which seems pretty likely.
Another benefit to using a smaller instance (or hosting your own), you don't have to worry about this stuff

Hopefully they don't try to mess with Beehaw, y'all are too nice :)

Why?

There are over a thousand lemmy instances. Two of them are being DDOSed. The rest are more or less fine.

That's part of the beauty of the fediverse. You're not locked in to anything. If one instance goes down, you can just access it through another.

I would think that the most notable thing that will come out of today is a spike in new accounts at a bunch of other instances. The fediverse as a whole will just keep chugging along.

You don't even need an account if you just want to browse.
