To be honest, Ordinals put a huge target on his back. It has created a bunch of disgruntled people who will pull out all the punches to get rid of Ordinals and make the mempool congestion the way it was before. DDoS is a popular (and illegal) attack vector for achieving that.
If I were him, I would move to new hosting or maybe liquidate some $ORDI to fund a Cloudflare Business subscription, which can stop Layer 3/4 DDoS attacks, unlike the free version which can't. I actually learned this the hard way myself, after my own site was DDoS'ed recently. But since I'm not Rich Uncle Pennybags and can't afford/justify a Business subscription for this kind of thing, I just changed servers instead.
Well isn't this an interesting development, if you can't rek ordinals on-chain hit up the rest of the stack, since they rely on 3rd party indexers to feed wallets, various apps, and websites how would they function without them? it kills the use of the front ends that require these indexers
Very few of these users would not know how to interact on the chain directly or run a node
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.
Where's the "oh no! Anyways" meme

So many recommending Cloudflare while the error page is clearly from them. It’s less clear that it’s a malicious DDoS: https://x.com/hashamadeus/status/1740095217334931822
I’m interested to find out more about this:

Don't you mean "would know how"?
The majority of BRC-20 users don't even know how to create a TapScript from scratch.
Lol yes my bad

This is the right attack, not censorship

You gonna die on that hill
Research censorship and you'll realize how stupid you sound.
You're right
Luke?

So I don't think this analogy holds tbh.
