so the developer of bazqux -- a $30 dollar per year RSS reader -- had his app temporarily blocked by the poast nitter because of rate limiting
the developer uses several VPS to fetch the content and send it to his users so it took a while but he finally got blocked automatically and somebody complained so he decided to bypass this restriction by misrepresenting the app and pretending to be a Windows 10 desktop running Chrome.
I've now caught him bypassing the permanent block on his IP range using a VPN. so he's set up VPN on all his servers to bypass this second block.
@graf As someone that uses bazqux for news aggregation, I pay the yearly fee to cover his server costs, his time and effort to provide support. I don't think he's a corporation, just someone that created a news aggregator that also captures comments. IMHO, much better than Inoreader. When I go to nitter.poast.org I don't see a way to donate. I'd do that if you allowed modest news aggregators like bazqux to continue to funnel your content and thus lower your server costs.
@graf Ya know, i'm a old person, RSS works for me, it's sad that you are hating on a good aggregation website. So will you block all the RSS aggregation websites?
