Ignore these people telling you that you're being too paranoid. I assumed the same about the series of DDoS attacks that lemmy.world experienced in the last few months. Reddit admins trying to undercut lemmy's growing popularity "by any means necessary" is perfectly logical. DDoS followed by content attacks even follows Reddit's own struggles over the years.

Can you do me a favor and scroll back to the top of the thread and remember how the conversation started? Invoking Godwin's here about MLK isn't really the point you think it is.
