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

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

@autumnull yeah, unfortunately blocks are also sent to the instance involved because $reasons.

these are all instances we've blocked for years though, it makes no sense at all

@joepie91 even though it literally links to the kf git in the footer...

code snippet I ment to share, using the delightful syncpipe library to support pipelining from userland

I created an account for my dogs to try out pixelfed: @fedipugs

So far its been a bit rough (no video support, hyperlinks get broken 🪦)

But if you like cute pet pictures maybe it could be worth a follow, I'll try to post when I can and occasionally maybe repost older stuff from the instagram that my partner made in the past.

luring all the corporations onto a mastodon instance and then throwing the server down a well, thereby killing all the corporations instantly, the curse is lifted

@rune ah i see some of it did get backported to 3.5.4/3.5.5, but we want to run glitch-soc which has no releases/EOL at all, you're just expected to update to main every so ofter

@rune yeah but there will probably continue to be security fixes etc too and actually maintaining a fork like that is a nightmare

@rune yeah... would be the most durable stopgap until GoToSocial is full-featured enough I think. Maintaining an actual fork seems even worse

@rune but it would involve proxying lots of routes and rendering my own representations of profiles/threads
