@Johannab I propose adding a Usenet-style warning to Mastodon: "This program posts news to thousands of machines throughout the entire civilized world. Your message will cost the net hundreds if not thousands of dollars to send everywhere. Please be sure you know what you are doing."
@pburka @Johannab
This program posts messages to hundreds of thousands of services throughout the known world. Your message will cost the whole net tens if not hundreds of dollars to send, though this has usually already been factored into the operating costs. Please be sure you know what you are doing.
