   OPINION: "Heavy" websites which pile on the megabytes with pages bloated far beyond their useful contents are hit hard when shared on Mastodon. A moment for reflection? No. https://news.itsfoss.com/mastodon-link-problem/

     @strypey @deutrino @Gargron Hi Strypey, Deutrino, any thoughts on what some are saying, that Itsfoss could make their pages smaller? perhaps a bit of load balancing? ^KM

     There are so many poor engineering decisions leading to this problem. But it could be worse; each client could generate its own unique link preview, instead of each server creating one for the people using it.

     Maybe this points to a solution for @Gargron and co? What if the account posting the link generated the link preview, and sent it as part of the post metadata?
