Not to mention that fediverse software still loves to occasionally hug of death a server when you post links, heh.

(Post federates to lots of servers, and lots of servers pull images/previews all at more or less once.)

Quick, someone post "Cascade" from Homestuck and bring down the entire fediverse.

Perhaps for images they'd have to federate just the text and a small thumbnail, and then just the people interested would click through. I wonder if that'd be enough.
