@laurel @p @natalie @graf @Drand Honestly, I gotta make a generic library for this so people do it right, and then me doing it looks just like "approved" people doing it
what's ironic is people are only finding out about MIT scraping fedi is because they're doing it wrong. if you're doing it right, you *need* to announce yourself like a cartoon villain in order for anybody to think it's happening.
everyone's on about "safety" and "security", but let me ask you this: Did the guy who called MGM and ask nicely for them to deploy ransomware cartoonishly announce himself as a social engineer?
