Heard it was DDoS attacks, which seems pretty likely.
Another benefit to using a smaller instance (or hosting your own), you don't have to worry about this stuff

Hopefully they don't try to mess with Beehaw, y'all are too nice :)

Large instances need to get Cloudflare DDoS protection because it will only get worse.

But you can still DDoS with federation. I'm not sure how we'd avoid breaking the idea that anyone can make a server and start federating immediately. Federation naturally is an automated task, so can't get past this protection.
