The announcement sounds ambitious.

Mastodon, a decentralized social network, has been targeted by a DDoS attack. This comes on the heels of a similar attack on Bluesky, a rival platform. The attack has resulted in service disruptions. It’s not the first time Mastodon has faced such an attack. The company has not disclosed the extent of the damage.

It’s just another day, another DDoS attack on a social media platform. Because, apparently, that’s just how we do things now.
