Got hit by 1k Trump bots within an hour after launching a platform

4•vinserello•1h ago
As soon as we launched our app on an online directory, we were overwhelmed by thousands of bots spamming “TRUMP2028,” followed by a DDoS attack.

Our app is a stupid fast 1v1 debate platform judged by AI called Debatable. We built it thinking of dialectic debating, but we were not expecting this. Thanks to AppCheck and Vercel AntiBot Firewall, the platform survived, but hundreds of users and debates had already been created.

It’s a wild first stress test. But how can US survive to this level of debate-contamination?
