Is there any plan going forward for dealing with the constant outages? (self.support)

Is there an update to Lemmy you're waiting on? Is there a Cloudflare upgrade? What's the game plan going forward for resolving these constant outages? Knowing that there **is **a plan going forward would be a great relief to me, and probably some others.

I already read that. That states the problem, but not if they have a plan to address it.

Like.. ehm… not being attacked?

I can't help but feel "Wait until the attacker gets bored" is a bad plan, and I'm rather hoping that they have an actual plan in place of that.

I mean, by nature you can only react on stuff like DDOS attacks. As far as I understand, when the load from a certain network is spiking you try to drop packages or block the origin all together -- depending on the situation. However, oftentimes bigger attacks swap their origin easily, which makes it hard to react.

Its simply not that easy to pursue a bigger plan.
