 Love that you can log into #amethyst with just an npub. Sure, it's read-only and DMs are encrypted, but I don't think any of you are considering that everyone can see who you're talking to and zaping. It's surprisingly verbose.

I know a good chunk of y'all are doing crime out there. Have fun with your digital paper trail, lol.

Already found proof of several high-profile accounts here DMing child pornographers and neo-nazis. Might fuck around and email some anti-crypto journalists. 
 lmao, "Pedo Peter" is a nasty nickname for Joe Biden (Google it). You just banned a conservative for making fun of the President.

Love this. Keep banning fascists. 
 Wow, who ever would have expected a convicted pedophile to show up on a censor-proof, encrypted, and anonymous social network of all places...

Always where you least expect it. 
 Threads is blocking more servers than we thought. Why aren't journos writing about this? Do we ne... 
 Breaking News: ActivityPub protocol working exactly as designed.

I dunno man, nobody is gonna run with that headline, much less once they look at the sites of your's getting blocked.

Liberals won't care because the content is 4chan level degeneracy, and they'll be happy to watch you burn.

Conservatives won't care because nobody knows who the hell you are or what your sites are outside of the fucked up little Internet bubble you live in, so they can't actually sell outrage about this to their audience in a way that matters to them.

Could you imagine Fox News trying to explain Mostr? Come on man, get a fucking grip...

Just shut the fuck up and enjoy your read-only access. You know exactly why Threads blocked these instances, at this point you're just crying about it. 
 I mean, sure, you aren't responsible for the emotions of others, but if you are deliberately indifferent to others' feelings, and go out of your way to show it by putting up signs informing others of such, then you're probably an asshole and few will like you. 
 You talk like a fucking retard, learn English moron. 
 It is actually extremely funny that you think this is about keeping Threads data off of your instances, and not about keeping the awful content on your instances away from their users.

I'm sure it's fun to take this pretend victory-lap, but all you did is trivially break authorized fetch in a way that they will quickly fix, and they probably only implemented it because it's part of the ActivityPub standard.

At the end of the day, you'll have read-only access to Threads posts the same as any logged-out user, and they'll block your reach forever.

He's friends with out-and-proud Nazis, and he hates LGBT people.
