#Mastodon delays firm fix for #linkpreviews that #DDoS sites
Many websites and apps offer previews of their online content that usually each contain a headline, a subheadline, a small excerpt, and an image. When someone on Mastodon posts a link to that content, their Mastodon instance fetches the preview from the content's host server to display in people's Mastodon feeds.
Decentralization is great until everyone wants to grab data from your #webserver
