@jpaskaruk Yeah, uh, I *do* pay my instance operators, tyvm.
But that’s irrelevant—the instance operator should consider their users because *it affects the users* and especially because in this context it costs the instance operator absolutely nothing.
The question is really “why shouldn’t users be given this agency?”
Does it cause harm? Is there a technical hurdle? Does it undermine or mitigate some other abuse-prevention mechanism? Is it philosophical?
