       The thing that's really awful about the whining that happens when anyone does any scraping on Mastodon is that it deters good actors, but bad actors couldn't care less. Whining when scraping happens doesn't slow anyone down who wants to archive mastodon, nor does it slow anyone down who is using the data for much worse (network mapping, etc) purposes.With so many genuine developers willing to write features that users clamor for regularly, scaring them away only serves to drive users away, with zero impact whatsoever on the concerns that cause the upheaval.CC @filippohttps://abyssdomain.expert/@filippo/109750257265679889
