Apparently mastodon.social is being DDoS'ed. I'm not posting about it on the ATmosphere because people are already mad at me on there from yesterday and my attempts to engage on this stuff. But I do think it's interesting that I had no idea all morning that this was happening, and I've been posting and interacting with people quite a bit.

But regarding the "don't gloat about it, the fight isn't actually with each other", I actually agree with that *more* than most fedi people, even though people probably presume I am very anti-ATproto. I'd like to see both systems learn from each other's strengths. It would be great when the ATmosphere could be at the point where a big player is DDoS'ed and other instances don't notice AND it would be great when the fediverse has content addressed storage and portable identity.

I'm not interested in gloating, I'm interested in moving to a place where everyone benefits and we develop a better, more participatory internet for people.
