I meaaaan. I’m sure the maintenance isn’t being done just for the fun of it. Presumably if you ran your own instance it would just be you doing the maintenance instead of somebody else.
Not to mention, Lemmy.world admins have said it’s mostly been due to ddos attacks. What’s to stop the people ddosing them to turn their sights on smaller instances?

I don’t think they are doing it out of some deep-seated hate for Lenny.
I imagine they are script kiddies looking for attention and bringing down your instance with one or two users probably isn’t on their radar or worth their time. I seriously doubt little “single-user” or even slightly larger instances will ever be targeted

probably it’s just not worth it attacking smaller instances? lemmy.world is such a juicy target given how big it is.

But I could also give myself a cool address.
