   @ArisuGunpla So if I was to register ArisuGunpla.com and start posting there, you’d be fine with that? I mean, your real toots “require ‘https://mastodon.world/@ArisuGunpla’ in the URL bar” so it should be fine, I’m guessing. And I can likely include some of your actual posts and some that I’ve written?

     @FinchHaven There is no impersonation here. If mastinator.com tried to impersonate *me*, for example, any user could easily factcheck by looking at the URL bar in the browser. Any real toots by me require "https://mastodon.world/@ArisuGunpla" in the URL bar. However, pages served by mastinator are served under the "mastinator.com" domain, and thus are obviously not authentic. It's so super easy to tell the real from the fake!! With internet literacy, there is no issue here.

     "Once again though, there is no impersonation going on here. There is no ability for this to ever produce content. It only consumes and displays"

     "It only consumes and displays"

     That is the most duplicitous, disingenuous reply I've seen since I left Twitter

     You're scraping content from a Mastodon account and presenting it under the same name, but on your own instance/server

     "there is no impersonation going on here"

     Really?

     Have you run all this past an attorney?

     Buckle up
