     @gamingonlinux @rdnielsen yeah, I'm not sure how a modern website can't handle a few hundred page loads a second. Feels like a them problem.

     @rdnielsen yes, and so far from this post being multiple times more popular than the majority of their posts.... there's literally no issue

     Were you testing because of today's post on itsfoss.org saying "Please don't boost this on Mastodon"?

     Well nearly 100 boosts and it's done practically nothing, interesting.

     @gamingonlinux @rdnielsen The "Mastodon effect" is a real thing, but its impact will depend heavily on how a site is set up. I'm surprised a news site would struggle with it.

     Discussion on the Mastodon GitHub here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/23662 A fix seems to be currently planned for 4.4.0.

     @jwz @julian At this point I’m more interested in hearing what that proposed fix is, as well. This should be public discourse. Mastodon is not the only Fediverse microblogging software that exists, so even if Mastodon were to put in a change, there’s a ton of other services out there that aren’t Mastodon that will still be doing what they’re doing now. Everyone needs to be in on this conversation, and get on the same page if the problem is to go away.

     @julian Do you have a link for what their proposed fix is? It's not obvious to me what they're planning, from that GitHub page.

     @gamingonlinux they didn't describe anything that should make a static site sweat at all. The scale they described is laughable. Their chokepoint is probably some overburdened and optimized comment database or something.

     @fritzy @gamingonlinux They do have live Mastodon comments on their page. I will not dig deeper to see if there is anything of generated server-side.

     The mentioned a CDN, but maybe that's media only and the page is live and dynamic.
