@siguza So fucking true.
I have a very image-heavy website (with zero tracking/ads) that I post on fedi from time to time, and I've never seen any dent in performance metrics from doing so, and while my account following may be smaller than theirs, there are still a lot of single-user instances, and to actually knock out my site just from requesting a page, I can't even imagine, which also happens to be running on a t4g.small and the only time it's ever been down was when I managed to screw up my letsencrypt autorenewal...
