I was able to access AZ on the browser during the downtime period, i’d assume that wouldn’t be the case with a DDoS?

Recent issues appear to be AI bots scraping lemmy content, posing as legitimate user traffic.
The difference between this and a regular DDoS is the intent behind it. I don’t believe the traffic we’re seeing is intended to be malicious as with a DDoS, but due to the incompetence of those behind the scraping… it effectively is a DDoS.
