@Blaze @fediverse This is the natural reminder to lemmy people that they should have a few alts on different instances, just in case something like this happens.
Also just populate smaller instances instead of centralizing.
This this this
No no no... This, that, and those other ones...

It would probably make more sense to suggest that more people permanently move off of lemmy.world. it's growing too quickly. People don't need accounts on lemmy.world to browse lemmy.world. I'm not on it and i browse it just fine. It's heavy usage that brings it down. So setting up slts doesn't fix the problem. It's changing the curling wallpaper when the problem is the house is on fire. Don't treat the symptom. It's the fediverse. Spread out.
I always think that with every DoS, some users just create accounts on other servers, see that it's quite faster than LW, and just keep using it. But yeah, I guess at some point LW will just close registrations.
