Hopefully now people will realize spreading out is the entire point of decentralization.

AO3 recently had a DDOS attack that ended, do you think it's the same people? 😂

How do you spread out? I'm a noob and don't really understand Federated servers. I just downloaded Liftoff and logged on

Make a new account on a different instance and use that instead.

Find a back-up instance and sign up for it. I personally use Lemmy.world and Lemm.ee for mine.

Go into Liftoff, Accounts, Add Account, give it the Instance url, sign in. You can now freely hop from account to account. World down? I go to my .ee NakariLexfortaine.
