  I do get that there's previous beef there, and I do get what P's intent was, but this particular exploit just looks like he's defedding a bunch of instances to spite one guy. I don't like that.

  @Sprate @NEETzsche i think the intent was to mess with Alex who has their own history of breaking federation and pushing people to insert code specifically to fix soapbox.

  As an end-user it just looks like everything this exploit can do is a component of defederation, which is an intended feature. Am I wrong?

  Genuine question from someone not very technically inclined:
  
  How is this exploit functionally different from defederation? Because it looks like it functions pretty similarly.
