Is the fediverse about to get Fryed? (Or, “Why every toot is also a potential denial of service attack”)
Aral Balkan · Is the fediverse about to get Fryed? (Or, “Why every toot is also a potential denial of service attack”)Every time I post something that gets lots of engagement, I essentially end up carrying out a denial of service attack on myself. What does this say about the design of Mastodon and ActivityPub and the future of the fediverse?
@aral judging by how many of the replies to this post still include at-mentions to Fry and Thunberg despite their replies not actually being relevant to them, I also wonder if support for BCC rather than CC would be useful. ;)
Aside from that, it does sound like (as others in the replies have also remarked) that more smaller instances would actually increase the traffic?
Final note: you mistyped 'extinguish' as 'entinguish'. ;)
@FiXato Thanks, fixed :)
