The Fediverse has a DDoS problem | aumetra's Scribbles

The Fediverse has a problem with accidentally DDoS-ing remote service. What can we do about it?

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)

Link previews for content from untrusted instances could still be generated just as they are now.

The centralisation that has happened is a separate issue.
