The Fediverse has a DDoS problem - Blåhaj Lemmy

I was recommended to share this article I wrote a few days ago on here, too; so here we are! The TL;DR is “link embed fetching communes” as a partial “fix” to the issue (pretty buzzwordy, sorry for that)

Actual source instead of the blog spam.
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

This is certainly not spam but rather a blog response, a time honored practice as old as blogging itself.

OP’s article links to the source article (albeit via its fedipost rather than its blog post; maybe best to link both) and contributes to the online discourse with a long form reply, detailing a possible solution.

Mischaracterizing such a clearly well-intentioned contribution as “blog spam” is harmful.
