I mean, just how many instances are gonna ping the URL? Several hundred, low thousands at worst?
Unless it happens to be some very large media content or a dynamic page with no caching, I’d think the automated federation hits shouldn’t be too bad.
The influx of users that might come after a viral post though, that’s rough…

Yeah but we can’t say we want to encourage people to have/build/share independent smaller websites then beat them up when they are linked. That’s a huge mismatch of morality. Either we want to encourage people off the big platforms and should make it easier for the little guys or we are blowing magic smoke.

It’s just bad design. What happens when/if the fediverse scales up to many more instances?
