@mcc Also, now that I've found the link, Source Who Shall Not Be Named is absolutely right, and this is a major problem Mastodon needs to fix. I'm a little sad the steering committee doesn't appear to be acting like it's a priority.

This strikes at the heart of the difference between consolidated and distributed social networks. Have they considered the impact it'll have on Mastodon as an ecosystem if web admins decide the "fediverse effect" is too much unnecessary load and start black-holing those requests?

"You can see that site through Facebook but not through Mastodon" is a bad look.
