   Interesting...

   I just got a follow request from #Awakari, with its own detailed and formatted message, and it never occurred to me that that's the sort of thing that #ActivityPub supports, though it does make sense.

   I'm also a little surprised because my understanding has been that the main reason they are controversial is because they don't get permission to crawl people's profiles, but here they've sent a customized agreement type thing for me to look at...

     @Raccoon they've just started doing that. It's new because we kept exposing them.

     @Raccoon the issue wasn't the selling of data?🤨🤷♂️

     @BeAware
     And here I was about to try and pressure them... :V

     I was thinking about posting something in the near future to try and get the other servers that haven't blocked them yet to group up and threaten to block them if they didn't start respecting the fact that some servers don't want to be scraped. Personally, it's not an issue here, because my understanding is they are just indexing for searches, and that theoretically means better reach for us: the point of blogging is to say things in public. The issue I had was the block evasion.

     @BeAware @Raccoon
     1. So how many deals and value?
     2. These options are about dedicated instances or self-hosting. There's nothing about "selling a data"
