A controversial developer circumvented one of Mastodon's primary tools for blocking bad actors, all so that his servers could connect to Threads.

Authorized Fetch (also referred to as Secure Mode in Mastodon) was recently circumvented by a stupidly easy solution: just sign your fetch requests with some other domain name.

    You are doing nothing but a strawman. Lemmy is developed by shit-for-brains tankies, yet there is no denying that their work has brought progress to the distributed web.

    Same thing for nostr. Whether you like it or not, nostr “cryptobros” have shown a bunch of things that need improvement on the Fediverse and they are backing their words with actions and working code. You on the other hand have nothing but smug, pretentious bullshit to throw around.

      Again, when you can show me a cryptobro concentration lower than 99.44%, I’ll take nostr seriously. And when you can show it not turning into a Hellhole worse than Xhitter and Farcebook combined because of the very philosophy underpinning it, then I’ll think it’s actually worth looking at. (Hint: this is not possible.)

      Until then I’ll call it what it is: a place for cryptobros to wank to their faux-libertarian fantasies.
