No instance is safe from these attacks but the bigger instances get targeted.

Then don’t work to become a big instance.

None of us are being paid,

If not you, someone is profiting from this

you can look elsewhere.

I’d love to, except lemmy.world went on to a huge land grab, cloned every possible popular community on reddit and is not giving any signs that will stop. Almost 50% of the user base is unreasonable and it goes against the ethos of federation and decentralization. An instance going down should not be newsworthy, but because it’s so big (relative to the others) it introduces systemic risk and approaches “too big to fail” status.

I shouldn’t be the one telling you.
