punkyblobThe Fediverse has a DDoS problem
ZakThe proposed solution of an intermediate server caching embeds is needlessly complex. The first server a link is posted to can fetch the embed, then push it out to every server receiving the post.
Actually an interesting point. My immediate concern with that idea is that it would open the door for disguising things for what they aren’t. The solution was made from the general caution of not trusting remote servers regarding content they not necessarily control.
But yes, that would definitely be a solution, too.
