   >they totally hose the streaming API with basically no warning and with no input from the community
   >the overwhelming consensus on github discussions is that this breaks too many third-party applications
   >countless small instance owners decry the change and how it was pushed on them with no discussion in a point release
   >devs trot out the old, tired "but public posts shouldn't be public because bad people exist" argument
   >countless people point out that there's other (btw more resource intensive for the server owner) ways to get public content because it's public and that's what public means
   >devs tell everyone to suck it up buttercup
   >as:Public gains the ability to use bearer tokens
   >the discussion also brings up a helpful service that provides a massive firehose that as:Public will so totally be using
