I don't usually post on nostr since I still feel like a n00b in this space and I am not comfortable with attention from strangers yet.
However, I want to get comfortable and I am interested in other opinions on my opinion. So I'll also share on nostr what I posted on SN regarding the Ordinals DDoS and Luke Dashjr (npub1lh2…a9nk) response:
>> “How dare you call it a DDoS. Pretty sure everyone involved is paying their internet bills.”
>
> Uhm, usually DDoS is done via botnets so it's not the attackers that pay the internet bill but innocent people with malware on their machines. This means the attackers definitely do not pay for the full bandwidth that reaches the target.
So I don't think this analogy holds tbh.

What do you think? Was Luke Dashjr (npub1lh2…a9nk) analogy still reasonable?
