Is this the same thing as the “Reddit hug of death”?

Similar, except those are caused by users visiting a link, whereas the Fediverse issue is federated servers gathering info before users even see a link.

So we need people to just mass post links to bad websites, is what you’re saying.

TIL the fediverse basically DDOS's sites when you share a link.
I shared a link from NPR Tiny Desk but there was no image preview or video embed. After investigating this I learned that when you do that, each instance picks up the link and individually retrieves the link preview nearly simultaneously. For gargantuan sites like YT or Reddit, this is a trivial amount of traffic and not a problem, but for smaller sites like NPR this results in a sort of botnet DDOS attack on the site’s servers. More here. Another example here . For that reason, NPR has blocked Fediverse servers like Mastodon.
I have experienced this on my personal server as well (DDOS), but at the time didn’t know why, exactly.
This isn’t the end of the world, but certainly is not great and hurts engagement with the content. Is there a solution for this? Perhaps using some sort of webtorrent service like PeerTube where they just fetch the information from another fediverse server instead of the source server? Maybe fetching embeds client-side? At least that would stagger the requests.

As usual someone had a funnier idea than what i ever could ( @Dee@fedi.underscore.world ) but I executed it and ok this looks cool: FORGET ABOUT ROUND BORDERS, LETS MAKE THEM 45º BATTLESTAR GALACTICA STYLE LIKE IN 2005
As you know, I love animals. That's why I built #Pawfed: https://pawfed.org/
It is fully built on #ActivityPub and lets people share messages with #OpenStreetMap to help our animal friends: https://pawfed.org/how-it-works
I clearly cannot make it work on my own, and it hurts a bit to fail when everything is already done. If you want to join the project to promote it and validate messages, you are welcome.

Why. Why do this. Why does the mere fact of a feature being in CSS mean that people feel like they have to use it
@mcc But andi, it goes on forever. didn't you know?
