This blog post is from May. I remember this issue kicking off on Mastodon a while ago - not sure if it came from the same person. Either way, the overwhelming recommendation was 'use caching', and sure enough, the update from the next day is https://kevquirk.com/blog/i-stopped-mastodon-ddosing-me-i-think
The issue if far from solved, and it's still being raised. https://flipboard.social/@coffeegeek/113030436873628885
Oh, okay. To be fair though, that link is also to someone saying "I can't post my stuff to Mastodon", and then immediately following it up with "it turns out I can post to Mastodon". It had a link to the thing I was thinking of: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40222067 from "itsfoss" in May, but they're posting on Mastodon now. I'm not saying that there isn't anything for Mastodon Devs to address, but it also feels like I'm getting whiplash from individual shit-stirrers.
