mastodon.social, mastodon.online and joinmastodon.org were hit by a DDoS yesterday, thankfully joinmastodon.org was already behind Fastly so it didn't have any impact on it. We've now moved mastodon.online behind Fastly and will do the same with mastodon.social soon.

@Gargron This just demonstrates the power of decentralisation. Even though a couple of instances got temporarily stunned, the rest of the fediverse continued as normal.

@Gargron are you allowed to discuss the nature of the attack (e.g., the client IPs, whether a person or group is suspected, other possibly relevant info)?

@Gargron I'm extremely happy that an alternative to the monopoly of Cloudflare was found and I hope very much that it works for you.

@Gargron May I ask what Fastly offers over Cloudflare? Curious what the benefit is over the big player.

@Gargron @stroughtonsmith As the Fastly SME at my company, I’m excited to see how Fastly is partnering with Mastodon! (More than just what’s mentioned below).
