UPDATE: Just now I linked a page on my site to a friend to let her know, oh, that post on ym blog you wanted to link, it's back up now.
The act of linking the page on Mastodon— given the number of people who follow both me and my friend— seems to have resulted in a "hug of death" that took my entire website offline.
What the fucking point is having a fucking personal website if the act of linking the website from your social feed takes the site down? Why would I have it if not to link it
