The results are in, after seeing about 800 boosts on the post to see how the Mastodon embed actually affects our server load. Here's what happened....basically nothing for us.
Image shows our server load slightly ramp up after the post on Mastodon that relied on the embed, but against other normal traffic is all looks pretty usual.
@gamingonlinux it's kinda funny that instead of hiring someone to submit a patch for their issue, #itsfoss decided to publish the article about their technical problems
The article reads superficial, like vague request for commercial proposal but for free lol

@gamingonlinux
I admit, similar approach might be justified for small websites (1-2 people) who cannot have budget to deal with technical problems
But surely #itsfoss have the budget to deal with tech. Instead they decided to turned to public activism to save a bit of it.
Why not publish the tech description on freelancer sites and have the patch submitted by monday for $300?
Turns out, to rile up the audience and instance admins is simply cheaper 😳
