minus-squareGestrid@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 年前Technically, a DDoS can happen naturally if enough people are trying to use it at the same time. I’ve seen it happen to other, larger websites before. And lemmy.world definitely doesn’t have the infrastructure of some of those larger websites.
