Why do you make so many posts linking to the same website?

(...) as well as the server you're reaching out to.
No, the server you reach out to sees the full traffic because that is the server your device is communicating with. It is only routed over the VPN, which acts as a middle person.
A VPN does not strictly hide your location. There is a lot of information that is shared with the websites you visit, e.g. your preferred language, timezone, etc.
A VPN can only change the IP-Address which also reveals information about your approximate location. In my case it is often times a city in another state, not very accurate.
Update: They silently went back to Mastodon.
Likely illegal (depending on where the post author lives).
