The speculation that I saw was that they'd try to get Wordpress.com to boot him off for being a burden on the overall infrastructure.

AT answered why the DDoS and why it is still active https://lj.rossia.org/users/archive_today/2478.html
This is an impressively unhinged take. I still have no idea what the person is trying to achieve. And I'm sad we're likely going to lose that resource in the future.
I understand being mad but no, unfortunately, despite me knowing humans are human and they get angry at times, this response does still leave a bitter taste in the mouth and many people will perceive it that way. Changing the content of the archived pages is the worst thing they've done honestly. The "3 Hz DDoS" is funny perhaps but then if it's so harmless, then why even bother? But regardless, tampering with the archives, that is, tainting the content that people appreciate you for won't sit well with people.
I don't know, I feel like everyone loses here.

People are now also talking about the weirdo trying to dox him instead of just the operator of the website, doesn’t seem like an unreasonable goal.

Seems like they just Streisand Effect themselves and amplify the message of the "attacker"
[dead]
As if Wordpress.com was that dumb...
Mullenweg is dumb, but he seems like the kind of dumb that would try to launch his own attack on archive.today rather than remove the site.
(For those who don't know, he's currently trying to destroy one of the largest WP hosting providers with a bunch of lawsuits)
Are you kidding, it's wordpress
