From @aral : https://ar.al/2022/11/09/is-the-fediverse-about-to-get-fryed-or-why-every-toot-is-also-a-potential-denial-of-service-attack/ on fairly scary scaling problems with Mastodon. Protocol design people, please read & consider. I have some ideas too, but later.

@mike @evan It'd be super cool if you did a brief write-up of that Cloudflare etc config. Tbh I'm reasonably net-savvy but have no idea what you even mean there, and I bet there are a lot of people like me. Current plan is to just take all the defaults…

Looking to put up family/friends #mastodon instance, @evan is using a Digital Ocean one-click instance for this - any experts want to express an opinion, in particular to scream STOP DON’T DO THAT!? Thanks in advance.

@mike @evan Instance type recommendation? I'm new to DO. I already have a couple thousand followers, does that factor in the choice?
