@aral @msh Ok so if you don’t accept the follow (or block it), it will stop aggregating? Well at least that’s something…
Of course it’s still shit and it will undoubtedly keep content that a user deletes.

@msh I'm not really well versed in ActivityPub etc, but I assume mastinator does not follow the actual account but rather scrapes the public feed (through an api or not).
So I have a few questions:
1) what would a block accomplish? That wouldn't block a scraper from accessing public data?
2) Blocking scrapers is hard and easily circumvented, but are there ip lists?
3) Shouldn't follower-only post not appear in public feeds? Is it a courtesy feature of the client to not show these?
Barely hatched transfemme lesbian enby. Not too old for this shit.I ensorcell the sands for a living, watch too much tv, adore dogs and otters and generally have no idea what I am doing.While I enjoy crossfit and weightlifting I am not nearly as fit or ripped as that might make you think.I also won both the autism and adhd lotteries, so, yay?Faves are often expressions of support. :BlobhajHeart:
