@[email protected] I suspected as much. Normally I'm not one to go all "protocol doesn't say shit about this" but, well, the protocol doesn't say shit about an endpoint that is easily abused so why the fuck should you make it available.I dunno. I guess I'm not sympathetic to the line of arguments these people are making because we're well past the point where we can assume any good intention on any developer or scraper's part (if we ever were). Too many people abusing openness to pump up their own stupid horseshit.The less known about a server, its occupants, etc, the better. The server admin has explicitly opted to tell you to fuck off, so if you don't like that the software lets them do just that, that's your problem.

i need well-paid tech gays to realize that if your place in the capitalist system is conditional on you playing nice and being respectable and disowning radicals and blending in with the other capitalism-enjoyers, then you actually don't have any place in the system at all and trying to find a place in it will only alienate and ultimately destroy you while not even giving you the satisfaction of pushing back on your own terms; moreover if you keep shitting down on your former comrades from your rung on the ladder, then don't be surprised if they're not there to catch you when you inevitably slip off

@[email protected] I can’t stop looking at this real time slow motion train wreck. The brake is right there yet he refuses to pull it. What a fucking disaster.Also, I’m unsurprised to hear that in seven years, pixelfed still doesn’t have appropriate moderation tools? Like Christ.

We need to grow our annual operating budget to €5 million in 2025. With these additional funds we will grow our team, invest in our community’s safety, and keep building the world’s most free and open social network — the Fediverse.https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/01/the-people-should-own-the-town-square/€5 million? That's a lot of money.

2025, it's finally the year of penis on the desktop

How many liberals does it take to change a light bulb?Trick question: liberals will never change anything because it makes them "just as bad as the other side".
