DDoS against mastodon.social today: Lots of users on that instance impacted, the rest of the Fediverse keeps on running, my instance doesn't really notice, messages will be queued up until mastodon.social is reachable again.
Both networks claim to be decentralised and federated. You decide
@jwildeboer All I can say is dee doo dee doo dee doo. Decentralization is da bomb!

@jwildeboer There truly is a world of difference
I tried running a dedicated stand alone Bluesky server/network but i was unable to
It’s not as simple as just running a PDS, that’s just a super small part of it. Bluesky is designed to keep everyone needing their service one way or another

@jwildeboer I had no idea dot social even got DDoS'd until just now.

@jwildeboer Who the heck would attack mastodon social??
@tech_noir @jwildeboer Many on the fedi actively hate mast.social (ban on sight kind of deal) I wouldn’t be surprised. It could also be a weird way to push people off .social to make mastodon more decentralized.

The whole network didn't go down. Bluesky went down, and non-bluesky architecture was fine. Let's acknowledge the other parts like blacksky, microcosm and brid.gy building the actual decentralization, and not conflate them with bs

@jwildeboer i never understand their logic about decentralize

And to be very clear about this: DDoS attacks are stupid and cause a lot of work. My sympathy goes to the sysadmins on every side, including those at the upstream network providers who have to deal with this, often at weird times. It is exhausting work and I really don't want you to have to do it, but hey, that's the world we live in, unfortunately. Sys Admin Hug!
@jwildeboer true. This shit is an unnecessary hassle for staff and disrupts daily routine. Ongoing projects have to wait and/or run into deadlines. And for what? Some kid that wants to cosplay as l337 h4xx0r
