Who keeps making followbots? stop it.
@parataxis Not gonna happen. They're doing it to curate their federated feed on their personal or small instance.
@five you have to follow to get pubsubhubub notifications?
@parataxis federated / GS network equivalent of the google bot, lol
@five I haven't looked at that part of pphb but there's probably a way to get postback notifications without creating a following notification
@parataxis or we should standardize a way. Either way it's something that'll have to be dealt with as things progress. In other news I just posted from the wrong instance, lol. @five
@five @five I thought you looked different
@parataxis lol. Had Msoc open bc at the moment, maly.io's got some issue where threads don't pull in right, seems some other instances are having similar issues @five
@five looks like threading is a monster WITH RECURSIVE query that gets cached and the cache never gets invalidated https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/4c53af64f0b10bc11473df5e3fd1cd7a11b755f6/app/controllers/api/v1/statuses_controller.rb#L17
