It's nice to know I'm not alone in getting DDoSed by Mastodon. I'm posting this from my Hachyderm account because I have yet to do the mitigation necessary to stop getting absolutely stomped by thousands upon thousands of identical requests whenever a post gets a dozen boosts. I like the bit where someone at Mastodon was like "oh, that's incredibly unlikely unless you are followed by thousands of servers" when, demonstrably, it happens for someone with <1k followers. https://kevquirk.com/mastodon-is-ddosing-me
