@coffeegeek Hi,

Wouldn't it be acceptable, as a workaround, to post the links in an intentionally broken form that interested humans can instantly fix, e.g.:

https ://example.com/foo/bar (remove the space)

? This way, no DDOS due to the Fediverse servers, yet interested readers can easily copy & paste the thing to their browser address bar, remove the space and read the article. :blobcat:
