Is lemmy.world getting DDoSed? Who would profit from that? (honest question. I hadn't read this before.)
DDoS are sometimes just people thinking "because I can", not necessarily motivated by profit.
A smallish scale service like a lemmy server ran by volunteers seems like an easy target, so it wouldn't be surprising that being the case.
