Actions have consequences.
I warned everyone for literally years that I would create a fediverse search tool if I didn't get anybody to play with. I got tired of bluffing.
btw, if "people might not like that smh read the room" was a valid reason to shut someone down, the civil rights movement would not have happened.
Fact of the matter is, I'm allowed to have hobbies. I'm allowed to keep myself busy. I'm allowed to do... anything I want, that's not illegal. And the cops already told me there's no issue with as:Public... but they did want to let me know about the volume of phone calls.
