A controversial developer circumvented one of Mastodon's primary tools for blocking bad actors, all so that his servers could connect to Threads.

Authorized Fetch (also referred to as Secure Mode in Mastodon) was recently circumvented by a stupidly easy solution: just sign your fetch requests with some other domain name.

    Again, when you can show me a cryptobro concentration lower than 99.44%, I’ll take nostr seriously. And when you can show it not turning into a Hellhole worse than Xhitter and Farcebook combined because of the very philosophy underpinning it, then I’ll think it’s actually worth looking at. (Hint: this is not possible.)

    Until then I’ll call it what it is: a place for cryptobros to wank to their faux-libertarian fantasies.

      Do you realize that you are fighting against an open Internet?

        I am mocking cryptobro fantasies and their favoured lines of communication.

          Not really, you’re saying if people you dislike are associated with something then you automatically write it off without understanding it. That’s self mockery.
