@BeAware that's why I put the word in quotes to try and convey sarcasm with it: I'm surprised it's 'playing' by AP instead of just skipping that to snag info. I'm saying "I don't know if merely blocking the domain is enough because it might be doing that to appear like there's a choice when it's actually snagging things via the API anyway". I'm trying to be even more cautious than merely blocking it in Mastodon. There is nothing polite about these things, and many folks are so "it's on the Internet I should have access" about it that a domain block in Mastodon isn't enough.
