Please Don’t Share Our Links on Mastodon: Here’s Why! | itsfoss.com

Jump

  • Direct link to article:

    TL;DR:

    When you share a link on Mastodon, a link preview is generated for it, right?

    With Mastodon being a federated platform (a part of the Fediverse), the request to generate a link preview is not generated by just one Mastodon instance. There are many instances connected to it who also initiate requests for the content almost immediately.

    And, this "fediverse effect" increases the load on the website's server in a big way.

    Does Lemmy not cause this issue? Other federated software was not mentioned in the article at all.

    Community creation is disabled on Lemmy.one, so if you’re hoping to do that you should probably register your account on a different Lemmy instance. Learn more…

  • And yes, the game does support the 16:10 aspect ratio for resolutions, so there are no black bars above or below!

    Great. That was my biggest complaint about the first one.

  • Thanks!

    It lost 15 posts on 2024-02-12 (Stamets?).

    What does this mean? You are assuming that a particular user deleted their account, taking all their posts with them?

  • My favorite new feature here is vertically swiping the spacebar for vertical cursor movement. Not as good as iOS's spacebar cursor implementation, but a welcome improvement over that of any other Android keyboard I have tried.

  • What is arguably even more egregious is having X/Y backwards. On a graph, X is the horizontal axis, Y is the vertical axis. Xbox got it right.
