@nyarlathotep @mint There's a lot of ways to circumvent it too. I know cum.salon has a way of doing so via proxying stuff.

A theme I think you'll agree with me on is the more you get into the Mastodon sphere of paranoia, the more "privacy through obscurity" increases. I'm talking about shit like scopes that can be MRF'd out, infamously easily leaked "private" messages, shouting down anyone who makes a search engine while Pleroma can act as one (so good compared to hashtags only that BoardReader was leeching off an instance), and whatnot.
