I like how the only way to protect yourself is to freeze your credit but also the private websites to freeze your credit that also leak your data like a drippy faucet won’t let you create an account to freeze your credit.

They are optimized. It’s a 5gb plan I guess. It looks like my options, in the comments here, are pay a monthly fee elsewhere and be done with it instead of constantly hitting barriers with my current host’s limits.

My concerns right now are this is the second time I’ve had space issues with my hosting service and when something goes wrong, it’s easy to diagnose which service is causing it (wordpress or host). Do those concerns sound valid for what you’re suggesting?

The fun thing about the Fediverse is that when this goes down the other instances stay up, so whoever is doing the attacks isn’t really doing much except promoting people to create accounts on multiple instances. Which makes the numbers look really big.
