@mia wait a second
@mia oh that's so smart
@mae help i don't get it
@faye the post's content is generated dynamically based on the instance that's fetching it

@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.

@mattblaze @gruber @hachyderm @Gargron

@apicultor @faye @mae this is literally just an innocent and fun script, is that dramatic a reaction really necessary here?

@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.
