@evan I’d be curious to hear more about your thoughts here.

I have worked in extremely patent laden spaces and I have never shied away from reading them as ignorance doesn’t offer a defense (in the US at least). I would read everything I could with the intention to be aware of the shape of the field and force my inventions to be developed to avoid them.

Is there something different about your space that allows you to be willfully unaware and somehow insulates your work?

@oliphant I am winding down a personal mastodon instance and would love to be able to run a script and have it self-destruct and be replaced with a much more easily hostable static instance.

Or if you wanted to maintain the activity-pub-ness a much more simple server that didn't allow for interaction and just served the content.
