GM. Yesterday ditto.pub and relay.ditto.pub got hit with a "DDoS" of 80,000 IPs and nothing happened. โœŒ๏ธ We hardly even noticed it. Not just because Nostr is censorship resistant but because what we built specifically on Ditto is the culmination of a decade of adversarial self-hosting.

I don't know if this is related but clicking on any trending topic makes ditto.pub load endlessly. It basically breaks the site. Have to reload the website to get back to "normal".

p. s.: thanks for stats! so, one may expect ~1k nostr users use ditto relay daily... have you weekly/monthly stats? (is it rising, falling or stagnating nowadays?) ditto.pub (as maybe 99% of web clients) are, practically, local JS application; so, 80 000 IP just download 80 000 x few mb == 400 gb o...
