Ah yes, let's forever create new accounts on new instances as they all get bogged down. Solid solution.

It's not "bogged down," it's being DDOS attacked.

What's the outcome of a DDOS attack again? XD

Okay, granted, but only using the term "bogged down" adds to the misconception that the problem is too many accounts on the server. It should be clarified that it comes from a deliberate outside source.

Just make your own instance and then you don't have to deal with high traffic and down time

Lol that's your solution for the common user?

[–] offspec@lemmy.nicknakin.com 1 points 1 year ago

It's my solution for myself, and I imagine a lot of folk on lemmy today are technically inclined enough that it's not an outlandish recommendation.
