Floof friends on our Thirring server, you may have heard there was a Denial of Service attack on the bigger mastodon.social and mastodon.online instances yesterday which took them down for a short time.
This kind of malicious attack floods the system with lots of traffic to try to slow down and overwhelm the infrastructure.
🛑 🚙🚕🚓🏎️🚗🚎🚐🛻🚚🚛🚜
Because Mastodon is decentralized and Thirring is separate from these instances, we were safe. 😊❤️🔒 Mastodon is very resilient! 💪
