Turn the question back, actually. Do the DDOSers even think they're achieving anything relevant, beyond being a bit annoying? .world is down from time to time, wow, how terrible. It's not like I can't log onto any other server and interact with world's channels and threads from there, only to have my posts and upvotes become globally available as soon as world is back- Oh, wait, that's exactly how it works.
You can log into non-world instances using world credentials?
No, you make an alt-account on a non-world instance and interact with world communities from there. The only issue is that you aren't carrying over your subscriptions and blocks unless you use a special tool, about which I don't know much.
I tried figuring out how to use the Lemmy API to subscribe to all my subscriptions from my kbin account a week or two ago
I remember getting stuck and giving up, so I think I'm going to do it semi-manually or something later on, unless some kind wizard blesses me with the name of such a tool
There is a script for it, I've been meaning to use it and create couple of alts but haven't done yet.

Lasim works very well.
+1 for LASIM
No. It's basically like signing in at another e-mail provider. Instead of [email protected] you now have [email protected] and can from then on e-mail the same contacts. Just with posts, threads and comments instead of e-mail of course.
Just make another account, you can usually even use the same username cuz there's so many instances out there.
Unfortunately no. I don't understand this well enough to know why accounts don't sync, but that seems like it would be much better to me.
