@tedu good to see they've totally ignored all the problems other architecture-astronaut systems like IPFS have had to figure out (poorly)

@amic i wanna dunk you in a shopping cart and run around the store

@trysdyn they're falling over themselves to unwittingly answer the original question. That thread's a gold mine.

Tell people there's an all-you-can-eat buffet in the local sewer and they'll not only queue up for it, they'll drag unwilling participants along too.

If you're wondering how easily this can be abused, consider hypothetically placing http://hatthieves.es:22/ in your profile.

Now I'm not saying you *should* make every masto instance hit that followbot-abusing douche's server, because that'd set off his automated retaliation scripts and the flood of outgoing spam might get him kicked off his hosting entirely. Just a thought experiment.

1. hotlink 1 or more URLs from the target's webserver in the metadata fields in your bio

2. bait G*rgron into reply-guying one of your posts. Each of the listed URLs will get hammered with get requests from over different servers.

3. The URL doesn't even have to point to a valid HTTP/S port. Here's some suggestions for fun activities: https://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/portbanning#portlist

This page is nine megabytes of HTML and without the CW there'd be 100+ shittily coded instances hammering it for metadata

@izalia this is your brain on raw water

@alayna looks like a murder

or if I'm gonna pay the cost of this at least make it a version of opencl from this decade

Dear Pesky Plumbers:

don't make *ruby* a build dependency for opencl stuff, ffs

@trysdyn I wish more people would ask that.

@trysdyn To be honest I'm not sure how this is going to turn out, but I'm still hoping for catastrophic failure on their end and anyone who deals with them.

I don't think anyone clueful's going to repeat the same mistake of assuming they're a good-faith participant in the network like what happened with gtalk. The internet was a whole lot more naive back in 200X.

@trysdyn imagine twitter trying to muscle into this network and the only servers that'll federate with it are mastosoc, gab and the right wing elements.
