Based on a web search, https://bogdanz.me/work/diddu.html might be a working mirror of the proof of concept.

It appears to contain a 10MB long UTF-8 mess in both the og:title meta content and in a mailto: link.

I'd guess it's supposed to crash iOS apps by either posting that link if it displays links in a thumbnail element using og:title or otherwise by pasting the huge mailto link contained in the webpage, or perhaps only the e-mail address.

This is arguably spam. The "link to fix iMessage if it crashes" just opens up a ton of ads with women in lingerie.
