first thing that happens when someone loads kiwifarms.st, is that it loads an 8mb video.
when you feature something suddenly 1,000 people run to read it from discord and IRC links , thats an instant 8gigs of traffic JUST FROM THE FRONT PAGE. if its spicy or controversial enough to get 2000-4000+ clicks, and hes trying to serve 16-32gb off of a desktop grade NVME while also churning 250,000 gay ass reactions elsewhere on the site. yes. welcome to "504 Farms."
"HELP IM BEING DDOS'ED BY THOUSANDS OF THESE TOR CLIENTS"
no you just pinned a 40MB video on your fucking front index page again......
theres more, i was a CDN fag in a former life, fuck cloudflare you dont need them. but ever since that fat bitchy tub of shit called me a retard and banned me, im not really feeling charitable.
im giving you ONE example so that im not sitting here going "hahah i see a problem but i wont say what it is" , have a freebie josh. but a lot of this stuff could be mitigated. you want anything else, literally, pay me or at least be nicer to people for christs sake.
the second big one is so... fucking... retarded... i... could...scream...................... the "hug of death" isnt a "ddos" . if you fucked up bigly, your vulnerability to a"hug of death" 
could be used that way, and to be a little fair to jershua... it might be a little hard for someone to tell the difference. its not something id do unless me or someone i care about becomes kiwifamous, in which case id probably go make an account and post some detailed instructions on skibidifarms.
