1. Mastodon was hit by a DDoS attack back in April and .social only was affected for a couple hours.
2. From the reporting your assertion here does not seem accurate.
3. Don't understand this point. Of course anyone can make fake accounts. This is not what is being reported.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online @Nonilex@masto.ai 1. Maybe they spent less money attacking Mastodon. I have no idea. 2. https://bsky.app/profile/safety.bsky.app/post/3mjg52nusg226 (and the actual lede of the story in the NYT) 3. Different networks, different pain points. The exact same APT is attacking Mastodon and having a far more successful time of it. It's not being reported because unlike influential accounts being hijacked, a paltry few thousand fake Mastodon accounts spewing propaganda is not considered newsworthy.
