If they’re trying to attack all of Lemmy, or the whole Fediverse, they’re doing it wrong. lol
It’s like obvious spam emails that put no effort into appearing legitimate. You have the spirit of it, but your heart is in the wrong place.

The hilarious part is they are probably paying to use some ddos service too.
Yep. You need to make a lot of requests to make a site go down, especially for a longer time. And for that you need a lot of computers. I doubt a lot of people have some sleeping bot nets available that they can use whenever a site admin was mean to them. DDOS as a paid service is pretty established nowadays, so imagine some guy investing his valuable buttcoins for this shit.
