@mae @faye This... this should not, at all, be a thing.

This breaks the system.

For the first time ever, I'm going to block a domain, and it's going to be that one.

@apicultor @faye @mae this is literally just an innocent and fun script, is that dramatic a reaction really necessary here?
Show threadApicultor 🐝Jun 18, 2024

@robustjumprope @faye @mae Yes. Yes, it is.

This is something which should not be done.

I need to be able to trust that the content of a toot is the same as everyone else sees, and that the edit history reflects reality. Break this social contract and I am out; there is no second chance.

Thus, instant domain banhammer.

@falxcerebri @robustjumprope @mae @faye Given I once ran a node on FIDOnet and was using email in 1992, I don't think you are in a position to say a single thing to me about the evolution of the internet.

It started going to shit long ago; idiots breaking things for others is nothing new.
