Someone please let me know if I'm wrong, but I don't see how Lemmy could withstand any amount or coordinated cyber attack or operation.
If dedicated security teams from fortune 500 companies can't beat them, I don't see how someone's server in their garage is going to do it.
I don't really understand how it would be, since things get duplicated across any federated instances. If anything it amplifies the spam since it auto-dupes it everywhere.
You might say everyone could just defederate, but at that point the damage is done, no? Not to mention if they're using bot armies they can just send them at any new instances that spin up.
