Mostly because it would invalidate any single user self hosted instance, which I fin is one of the big draws of the fediverse in general.

Well I dunno, this seems pretty consistently dumb as shit.

Indeed, thanks a million for giving the community tools at this critical juncture. Very much appreciated!

I feel like the python script is maybe a bit too extreme ? 20 times more users than posts might happen on smaller instances people use mostly to browse the big ones, I feel. I ran it with a suspicion ratio of 100 and it didn’t seem to block any “legit looking communities”. But then again, it is very hard to tell.

Thanks a lot for your work !

To be fair, it’s not like those were under control on Reddit either.

Yeah, probably. I’m afraid they’re going to keep a few 3P apps up, though (they already have started this process) long enough for people to migrate to their official app (because of NSFW content no longer being accessible through the API). So this may take a few years.
