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 ]
