I'm learning a lot by following lemmy.worlds actions. Appreciate the transparency!
It's not ideal, but there's not a whole lot of options out there for DDoS mitigation.
I hope lemmy.world can avoid using Cloudflare which goes against the spirit of Fediverse as it's just an objectively evil company.
Agreed. This is an emergency fix. Will look for final solution later.
Damn these script kiddies.. I don't like Cloudflare at all but it does its job well. It may just be my paranoia, but putting a single entity in control of so many websites seems dangerous. I think we have all learned about the intentions of big corporations. But hey, it's better than being taken down tbf.
I put this site behind cloudflare in response to this post. Other than having to change SSL/TLS encryption mode to Full, it seemed easy. I turned on bot fight mode and I'm using the managed WAF ruleset that comes with the free tier. Any configuration recommendations anywhere in the panel?
Welcome to the internet, glad thereβs a working solution
Maybe is that Reddit dude, jealous of Lemmy's increasing popularity.
It seems like you made this comment in jest, but I wouldn't say it's outside the realm of possibility. We can't fly off the handle and lob accusations absent any sort of proof, but it would hardly be the first example of a corporation targeting an up-and-coming disruptive service run by amateurs.
Hmmm, we're getting a fuckload of web requests on our Lemmy too... I think I'll enable CloudFlare too! :)
