@rysiek Playing devil's advocate, and potentially addressing another community issue, what if the coordinated attack is against a mid-sized instance and the instance is overwhelmed and not able to respond quickly? The instance then gets listed on some block list and is defederated. Is this an equitable solution? Now the users of the mid-size instance are all disenfranchised. Does this provide attackers with another way to disrupt the smooth operations of the Fediverse?
@rysiek We need to recognize that as we grow there will be bad actors out there probing our weaknesses and trying to break our systems of moderation. Like all complex systems, we have vulnerabilities at all levels and the means of addressing these are with vigilance and active counter measures. Technology alone can help, but it is not enough.
