mrcopilot, to mastodon

My apologies to the Slashdotted admin.

"Please don't share our content because of server load" sounds an awful lot like an admin/config problem.

Also sounds a lot like a plea for a centralized link preview farm.

Oh no the server is Melton, @lisamelton

Anyone venturing into this solution space?

Mastodon/AP encourages the open web and decentralization but also makes it more challenging to exist on the open web, and more difficult to be a small decentralized publisher. Problems that get worse as it grows...

Mastodon should start a US non-profit, to raise funds, to pay people to fix this!🙂

Or should they sit around and hope someone does it for free?

Or should they wait for Meta to try to solve it, then watch everyone jump on them and say they don't trust them?
