Honestly? That's great. It's stress-testing Lemmy and, to an extent, ActivityPub.

Growing pains. It's just gonna improve Lemmy in the long term.

If you don't like it, use another smaller instance like lemmy.zip or lemm.ee. You know, the entire point of decentralization.

I totally agree with your outlook and made a pretty similar post to yours a couple minutes ago. My only addition would be some concern as to why it seems like attacks are causing the downtime. The attacks do encourage improvement, but why do it in the first place. I'm hoping bored enthusiasts. At least it wouldn't be BS corporate attacks trying to eliminate competition.
