Practical solutions to the "don't share this on mastodon" problem:

1. Include an image in the post, so mastodon doesn't fetch a link preview (you can do this yourself)
2. Serve static assets from static files, not your app server (sys admins can do this)
3. Mastodon adds some staggered delay to the open graph fetch (likely simple, but a dev needs to do it)
4. The origin embeds the link preview and peers just use that (the difficult but correct solution, but gargron needs to agree to it)
