mccThere is an interesting article titled "Please Don’t Share Our Links on Mastodon: Here’s Why!" about the startling load that Mastodon's mass-distributed link preview generation has on small independent webservers. But I cannot link it to you, because of a reason
margot@mcc i've heard about this and im... assuming its high priority to fix if its possible bc it seems like a REALLY bad problem for a Social Network
@mcc i saw a lot of stuff in the comments to that article you didn't share where ppl said the person had misconfigured their site, but... if mastodon is the ONLY place where that is a problem it is probably still very much worth disabling i feel like?
