It's come to the point where I don't feel comfortable sharing Owncast streams on the Owncast Fediverse account anymore because it has enough followers where the Mastodon DDoS (hug of death) creates problems. If you think it's a problem for not real-time content like blogs, it's a critical problem with real-time video. I've been trying to improve it over time, but I think I'm going to have to really start locking things down.
