manifestation. I would like to know how mastodon.social got covered this? what type of mechanisms are set on the biggest mastodon instance, some WAF? balancers?
on the other hand, its good cause this is another hole someone light up in the fediversal setup, i would have a considerable effort/problem to set firewall for DOS (not hosted at some big VPS provider with parameter already set up)
edit1: its hosted on SWCH in EU, exoscale.ch, shame.
I wanna see instance admin report on this (would it be suprise if the load was triggered by "tesla drivers")
