     If you really " don't want to have Maven connect to anybody who doesn't want it" you would ask for permission first. What you actually did shows that you don't care about consent. At all.

     @stefan @liaizon @djsundog Hi this is Jimmy here. Happy to remove any of your posts from Maven and cease ingestion from those servers going forward. We are trying to connect up to the Fediverse, to allow interaction with other ActivityPub servers. This definitely seems to me to be within the spirit of what ActivityPub enables, but of course, I don't want to have Maven connect to anybody who doesn't want it.
