I hesitate to share this for fear of generating a mini #ddos on their site, but i had no idea the #fediverse generated so much traffic due to its inherent nature. Sounds like issue is on the roadmap to getting fixed, but good that folks are sounding off about it.

arXiv, the open-access repository of electronic preprints and postprints, is experiencing a DDOS attack. Over a million email change requests were received from 200 IP addresses in China, overwhelming the arXiv email service.

Browsing and submitting papers on arXiv are not affected. Daily emails, new account registrations, and legitimate email address changes are all impacted by this disruption.

What would be the motivation?
