@janl@chaos.social I think you have mostly the right idea, but because this isn't self-hostable, it does effectively give your single server a very large amount of data as a combination from all the user's home timelines.

There's no way to verify or guarantee that isn't being used for other purposes (now or in the future). Worse than public-scrapers even, this also gives you access to followers-only and dm content (and the account, through the wider permissions Elk requests)

@janl@chaos.social IMO this should either be ran by the instance the user is already on (because you already trust them with exactly that data), or be incredibly upfront that you are now *indefinitely* trusting a third-party with all this data and permissions
