Fastly and Datadog who both sponsor us by providing us a free service were instrumental in analyzing and mitigating the attack. Shout out to our own team as well, glad I don't have to do this alone anymore!

@timberwraith

It is a prelude to invasion. Those aliens whose UFOs we shot down.

@Gargron thanks for all the hard work!

@Gargron Weird way to spell suspicious

@Gargron

@Gargron Thank you so much 😊 🙏

@Gargron ty for all you do!

@Gargron so then the ddos attack on mastodon.social has nothing to do with stoners.social being down? bc that instance is still down and we were given no heads up. im rebuilding from scratch over here.

@Gargron - Thanks for your attention!

@Gargron thank you!

@Gargron I'm getting 403 errors trying to access the site - am I blocked then? I didn't do anything apart from try to load my timeline while you were down!

@Gargron My conspiracy theory of the moment: Elon rerouted all the API calls this way.

@Gargron Third time in 2 weeks that the timing is "unfortunate" for a major Mastodon server or API endpoint 👀

@Gargron A mi no me funciona #mastodonsocial en España.
