@graf @shedinja did you happen to see that apparently Twitter cut off the source of the anonymous API tokens? The Nitter people were saying everyone's nitter is going to stop working in a month

graf, 5 months ago

@Moon @shedinja yeah I was the first to post about it, an entire day before it was public. i have some ideas

graf, 5 months ago

@shedinja i was going to block them but you know what, no it's gonna be the meatspin redirect for today

GrungeQueef, 5 months ago

@graf @shedinja is this what's causing the twitter access tokens to run out?

graf, 5 months ago

@GrungeQueef @shedinja yes. nato literally scraping our nitter is running up our tokens. as soon as i cut them off it went from 7000 limited to 800

thatguyoverthere, 5 months ago

@graf @shedinja "signage player" redirecting to meatspin :blob_laughing:

graf, 5 months ago

@thatguyoverthere @shedinja I just realized the website has a button you have to click to reveal the image so I just changed the redirect to the meatspin.gif file

MechaSilvio, 5 months ago

@graf @shedinja They're gonna click even more!!!

graf, 5 months ago

@MechaSilvio @shedinja its not a click -- they have the RSS feed of their own account on some digital signage likely in one of their offices, probably in a public space. so hopefully the redirect to meatspin.gif plays on that

@graf @shedinja Holy shit:

OMG LOL

NATO banned from Twitter so they're scraping poast's nitter instance is the moment when NAFO and NATO become equally impossible to take seriously.

graf, 5 months ago

@cjd @shedinja somebody inferred that in order to know about poast nitter the NATO person who set it up had to be a poast user and ive almost never been more offended in my life

m0n5t3r, 5 months ago

@graf @shedinja will you put up rate limiting, or just kill rss altogether? I have a few poast nitter feeds in my tt-rss and they update hourly...

graf, 5 months ago

@m0n5t3r @shedinja i’ve been blocking people aggressively scraping rss via various methods. let me know if it broke yours and i’ll try to work around it

graf, 5 months ago

if you get caught in the crossfire send me a DM and i'll resolve it for you
