@quixoticgeek@cstross I was kind of amused when they asked "should we pay for a CDN?" Err... if you run a high traffic website that uses a lot of images & JavaScript, yes! Why are you still on Cloudflare's free plan?!
@quixoticgeek hm, seems to be a legit issue. I agree that the websites should have better caching for these previews in order to avoid contention. But then, these small blogs will rely on free publishing software, not much they can do about it.
All that said, what rubs me wrong is that attitude of „shouldn’t FOSS care about us small people more?“, when communities like „it’s FOSS“ should be more aware that people should still pay for stuff they care about. (Free as in beer not labor etc)
@quixoticgeek Would you be willing to help me figure out what exactly the issue is that itsfoss is having with Mastodon? I'm a novice about web-related anything. From what I get, they're saying that they can't handle the influx of traffic from when things are posted on the fediverse? I'm guessing that this shouldn't be an issue for a site such as theirs in this day and age? Help this noob plz? Thanks for reading!
