@Xenon @GonzoVeritas this was me. I could understand the financial reason for effectively closing the API. But the disdain for their user base that Huffman and his team showed in the AMA and the handling of the protests made me realize I don’t want to be in a place I’m not wanted.
@Nougat It doesn’t prevent them now, as they can just easily crawl all of your posts on here because you are posting on a *public instance*. Defederating from them does nothing to make your public content private.
