sh.itjust.works got hammered around that time by what appeared to be content scraping bots. It was bad enough to interfere with normal server use, and we had to restrict traffic temporarily while TheDude dealt with it. I'm not sure which other fedi instances were hit, or to what extent.

Ah, expected something like that. Our instance has a hard time with them as well.
