  • Right, the middleware is the issue. You can bake all of what Cloudflare does yourself as far as hardening goes and utilities like Anubis and Pangolin, buuut you’re not getting that DDOS protection.

    To Lemmy’s benefit, DDOSing one of us isn’t DDOSing all of us, buuut there’s a bit to be said about Lemmy mostly centralizing around .world.

    If one had a botfarm and a grudge…

    There are proxies and selfhosted middleware out there that can be set up across arrays of vpses who’ll then redirect based on health and load, but once they know all of them, I guess you’re done running.
