A screenshot showing a (redacted) fragment of the web access logs from key13.uk - it's a very long list of hits from Mastodon servers, all within 5 seconds of each other. And this is just a fraction of the full list!

   Sometimes I think my website exists just to keep Mastodon servers happy. I guess they must get lonely - perhaps they're reaching out for company.

   [technical note: this is what happens when you have a 'verified' link in your profile, and someone boosts or faves one of your posts. It seems each server doesn't visit more than once per day which is a small mercy. But it's still a LOT of requests. NB this link is *not* in the post that was faved or boosted. @renchap #mastoddos ]
