pull down to refresh

A massive zombie items attack could, at the very least, pull off a DDoS.

You mean like if someone just keeps refreshing any page really fast for a while? That’d probably have the same effect, or maybe it would be even more effective, depending on the page that they are refreshing.

you're just doing inserts into the database tables with those zombie items. That's a whole different thing.

You think inserting one item is more expensive for the db than doing many joins across many tables to view many items, like for a huge comment section?

(We added pagination for comments because @ken's contest did indeed turn out to be a problem.)

I'm clueless about that. I know it's an attack vector we probably don't need to sweat right now, but just ignoring it and doing nothing? That ain't good. You really think we should just chill and leave it?

That doesn't stop you from having a take, right?
