Yeah, you know those little hats they wear? I heard if they sing Hava Nagila, spin around once, and touch the hat, they can teleport!
Fun additional fact: Harry Belafonte didn't die, he was just singing Hava Nagila again but this time he was wearing a yarmulke because he was visiting a synagogue. The rabbi recognized him and mentioned that he enjoyed the cover, so Harry began to perform it and at the end of the song, the yarmulke got bumped and poof: Harry Belafonte now resides on one of those Jewish space lasers the lizard people in congress keep talking about.
Anyways, he's a huge hit up there in outer space; I heard he's working on a pretty badass cover of Mazel Tov now, can't wait for it to drop! I'm a little sad he's not on Earth after that teleporter accident but it really worked out for the best if you ask me: We're going to get some wonderful music out of it!
It can help, but is not perfect. There's kind of been an arms race between services like Cloudflare and script kiddies/hackers DDOSing: Their methods became a little more sophisticated to the point that they keep the traffic shifting from address to address so it's harder to track/block.
They'll do other things to mess with the host too like spamming "white noise" pictures to fill up server storage space, so while DDOS attacks play a role, there are other issues at play on top of that.
For what it's worth, I've been using Kbin.social and sh.itjust.works as well and they have also had some issues here and there. No host will be perfect and invulnerable from every attack, and when an instance becomes more popular, it becomes increasingly likely to be targeted by attackers.
You don't need a federal law to sue someone. You can sue anybody for literally any reason.
Doesn't mean it will be successful of course, and if it's frivolous, you'll probably have to pay court costs and for the defense lawyers, but you can totally sue pretty much anybody for any reason at least in America.
This predates what people now refer to as "A.I.".
