Please Don’t Share Our Links on Mastodon: Here’s Why!

We need to talk about this problem. Should Mastodon step up?

It's FOSS News

@wimpy its 2024 and they're moaning about getting slasdotted ?

and its happening even though they already use a CDN ?

Sounds like a them problem.

@FXBOY4EVA @wimpy Slashdotting needs a user on the other side to generate traffic. This is talking about servers making requests regardless of whether anyone looked at the post or not.

@dcz @wimpy
I'm well aware of whats being spoken about.
I did read the article before commenting.

Pedantry is not necessary.

@FXBOY4EVA @wimpy Just making sure everyone is aware that this is different from slashdotting in an important way :)

@dcz @wimpy

Which again wasl, entirely, unneccessary.
