@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

@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)

@tastytea@very.tastytea.de it's not really a crawler, and they seem to have mostly the right idea, but due to it being a single centralized service, with them storing all the content indefinitely, it does effectively give *them* access to a much wider view of the fediverse, even if it's properly scoped for users to all the content they could've seen pass by in their timeline

too much posting, nobody should be allowed this much posting power

also more hyping myself up like: there's a reason i'm refactoring this code, but the quality ain't all that bad. i can still understand it after a few months :")

Instance block recommendation 

impeccable.social, single-user Pleroma/Soapbox instance, feed is full of boosting other shitty instances like noagendasocial.com and gleasonator.com

found them through a reply recommending Soapbox (eww) and Wildebeest (cloudflare eww) software

i'm posting too much so probably had too many stimulants

Microsoft Word?
I haven’t heard that name for years…

re: Terf mention, that ridiculous book series by a well known terf 

@alex @schrodingers_cat@rage.love pretty valuable lessons like how racism and other -isms are so prevalent in (pop)culture, and that separating art from artist doesn't really work because their shit always seeps into the art

queue surprise when that isn't the valuable lessons they mean though

@dragon those sounds are the worst, closely followed by emergency siren samples

@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt it's what we used in first year CS to make a game in assembly, pretty sure that's as simple/low-level as it gets

re: Terf mention, that ridiculous book series by a well known terf 

@schrodingers_cat@rage.love something about individualism and not having culture so taking consumerism and nostalgia (great combo) as a substitute

@tobi yeah, killing all the useful code and making it worse 😈

JK Rowling has explicitly said, multiple times, that people continuing to buy Harry Potter stuff is proof that they agree with her transphobia

Stop giving this bigot money
