This is what suggests that: "For the time being, Mastodon remains a small enough presence in the social media sphere that this kind of attack hasn't been worth the time."
- yogthos 6y agoSure, however the more important point here is that this kind of attack is fundamentally more difficult to carry out and less effective than it would be against a centralized service.
- matt_s 6y agoYes, this is what I was referencing from the author. Git is decentralized version control. I would bet a site like Github protects itself from mass attacks because of its popularity. It has nothing to do with decentralized software. If a specific Mastodon node becomes super popular then it should have a plan to protect itself from these types of attacks.
