Comment on Can we please unpin the proprietary off-site/off-network promotion of discord

Isn’t content from Mastodon federated across the instances? Meaning that LW could just open an account on any Mastodon server (not their own, to avoid to handle both at the same time)?

Or are you saying that Mastodon is as DDoS vulnerable as Lemmy, making the server that would host the LW account a DDoS target?

So what I understand is that you’re proposing playing cat and mouse with DDOS attackers then?

  Just to clarify, if someone is targeting LW, and Mastodon is as DDoS vulnerable as Lemmy, why wouldn’t they attack mastodon.world as well?
  
  Mastodon.world has 99,97% uptime: status.mastodon.world

    Because it’s not being advertised as LW’s alternative communication channel, hence they likely don’t see the need to target it.
