This is amusing. Websites are struggling with the crawler requests from Fediverse instances when a new post propagates through the network. https://www.jwz.org/blog/2022/11/mastodon-stampede/
Now that blogs and personal websites might see a revival, tons of people will have to learn the lessons us older website operators have learned during the first wave of social media when Twitter and Facebook got big.
The main lesson being: donโt serve dynamic content directly without any cache layer.

I will also likely regret wading in on this, but:
1: Using robots.txt requires also fetching robots.txt first, so that only marginally reduces the total number of requests.
2: Caching and CDNs are already a well-established pattern on the web, and necessary for a lot of things that have nothing to do with Mastodon/fediverse. Solving that problem other ways will likely create new problems, so at least that falls back on existing solutions that are known to work.
but also, I'm reading back up this thread... come on everyone, be nice! We are all on the same side! -

@gme @crschmidt @tw @cshabsin @jefftk I will likely regret wading in here but this is a rather bizarre thread. Spec or not, itโs poor design. Itโs irresponsible. Itโs messy. Itโs resource intensive. To say โput a CDN on itโ doesnโt change the waste - it hides the bug/implementation and shifts the responsibility. @jwz and friends are correct to bring attention to it. Donโt bury it. Fix it. @Gargron

CREATORS: If you're still getting bot spammers and scammers in your YouTube comments, I put together a Google Doc that lists all the keywords, phrases, and emojis they've used.
Since then, I have yet to have any bots get through. I hope this helps!

I finally got around to reading @timbray 's "Bye, Twitter" blog post that everyone's rightfully sharing, and the last paragraph of this section resonated.

Getting a plane to Europe tomorrow. I have full seasons of a half-dozen shows, a Retroid with retro games, a Nintendo Switch, and work and email to do. I will likely do none of it and simply fall asleep. I do this EVERY time and I NEVER learn.
haha same ๐ I have done this so many times -

Just searched the App Store for my own app by name and the app appeared nowhere in the results. Thanks Apple.
I keep telling people about the apps "Shoot" and "LiveApp" which are basically impossible to search for in the app store ๐
