It really doesn't matter if Mastodon adds better abuse controls because ActivityPub is literally structured in a way that makes abuse easy. A popular account can DDoS itself just by existing. We should be figuring out the next thing, not wasting time on something that's inherently broken.

@krusynth Genuinely not sure what you mean here! I would say that mastodon might have made some decisions in its implementation of ActivityPub that makes self DDOSing a thing, but I could also say that the world wide web is structured such that a website being popular means it gets DDOSed just by virtue of having a lot of traffic.
