   There's a special place in hell reserved for those who unleash spam or DDoS attacks on non-profits and independent #Mastodon instances. It's like kicking puppies in a digital playground. These instances are often lovingly nurtured by individuals in the community spirit, offering a refuge from the Big Tech. Why anyone would want to rain on their parade with spam or try to knock them offline with a DDoS attack is beyond me. It just doesn't make any sense. Also, donate to your instances if you can.

     @nixCraft I can see some nonprofits being attacked - not for good reasons, but for explicable ones. If you're Russia, you despise independent media like Meduza (https://meduza.io) and therefore want them to go.
     But the people like the attackers of the Internet Archive or random Mastodon instances? Yeah, I don't get it either.

     that's just it. they're *not* dispersing the now completely uncontrolled feed from a platform formerly known as less friendly to misinformation, becoming an adversary by default.
