wait a minute, are a bunch of instances now using a tool to find out who has them suspended?

I've had multiple requests in the last few days asking why social.pixie.town, a tiny instance, has their specific instance suspended, what the fuck

kiwifarms, suspend list scraping 

It's important context that this tool was made by kiwifarms, and expliclity links to their git in the footer.

All of these requests have been along the lines of "look we have a perfect set of rules there's no possibility at all you blocked us for good reason".

1. we can block for whatever reason we want, it's a discussion to have within our own community, not with you.
2. you're using a kiwifarms tool to get this info. fuck off

re: kiwifarms, suspend list scraping 

it's confirmed that qoto.org used a fascist's tool to mass send emails to instances who suspend them for good reason. qoto.org/@freemo/1093608811876

qoto.org if you haven't already

@f0x here is likely how the knowledge of this tool might have spread cjr.org/analysis/journalists-w

(in the link attached to the 'about forty-five “instances” are blocking' text)

@host once again confirming the danger such journalists pose, repeating shit without knowing or caring about context

re: kiwifarms, suspend list scraping 

@f0x the "context" part hurts the most, as I would understand this to be the basis of what journalism entails.
