@quon This seems a bit hypocritical, not of you, but the community, to think this is unethical.
There is a large group of people who block instances that dont block other instances (for example if you dont block kiwi they block you by proxy). They find this information out many ways but usually they just open an account just to test.
The only difference between what they do and what he is doing is they do it manually and then disseminate the information, he does it automatically.
The way I see it, if the information is public, then he has every right to know it.
@JoshuaACasey I think their app is just buggy and doesnt handle the ActivityPub standard probably (hard coded some things that shouldnt be hard coded).
If youd like i can bring up an instance of it on qoto.org for you and then if it is buggy here i can tweak the code to get it to work for you.
Is there any word of twitter banning people who are promoting the fediverse? Errr I mean masterbatedone ?

@nullifidian I dont like automatic cars, I only buy manuobiles
@nullifidian @freemo human beings are amazing creatures. He can create a business that makes spaceships that land like science fiction crafts yet can't resist the urge to keep quiet and instead chooses to shoot his own foot multiple times.
The aliens must be fascinated by us ;)
@msprout Yup, for sure
@gpowerf Not exactly one of his best skills.
@gpowerf Most likely true. As long as Elon keeps making mistakes we will keep seeing spikes. Maybe he got some senses though and might shut the hell up.
Sadly the twitter exodus seems to be coming to an end. From the peak of 1,333 users per day we are now back down to 322. Before the exodus we were seeing about 100 to 200 new users a day.
@KodeGhinn Much appreciated
@freemo don’t worry doc. You are doing very well
@DaleL Wonderful to have you then. Lots of people giving EM the middle finger lately :)
@agterrane I burnt myself out a long time ago, now im just ashes blowing in the wind :)
We do not have a patreon. We have accepted donations before but honestly, we are well funded with my own money, so its not needed. If you want to contribute though please feel free even if its nothing more than posting quality content.
@giuseppebilotta You are welcome to speak any language you wish here, you would be most welcome.
