If your Mastodon server is being very slow today, it may be due to a DDoS attack on one of the biggest hosting providers.

They are aware of the situation and they're taking action against the attack.

This attack doesn't affect servers running on different hosting providers.

EDIT: Okay, looks like the attack is over, servers seem to be getting back to normal. If you are still having problems ask your server admin, if you are an admin ask your hosting provider.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Interesting. Who is it being attacked? We're having some issues too and wonder if we're caught in it, it's a side effect, or it's a concidence?

It was masto.host but the attack seems to have just stopped.

If you're not on masto.host then it might be some other problem?

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Thanks. Yeah, I'm on a Digital Ocean droplet so I guess it's not that. A whole bunch of IPs started pulling loads of timeline and tag searches since early this morning, which was really slowing me down. I've just blocked the range they were in. I might open it up again and peek at it. 🤷🏻🤷🏻
