Even if you don’t agree that it qualifies as a “DDoS” on its own, it can easily be abused as part of a DDoS attack. It’s a great subject for the Stallman copypasta though. I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as a Mastodon DDoS, is in fact, Mastodon Request Amplification, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Mastodon plus Request Amplification.
