@downey so this is required now? I thought the PR said optional? Why did this change?

@KuJoe because the BDFL insists on running and growing a server that shouldn't exist.

@downey that doesn't answer my question, why isn't it optional anymore?

@KuJoe @downey it is optional (for admins to enable/disable): it requires an API key for the service before it can be enabled

@matt thanks, that's what I thought but I felt like I was missing something because of the wording of that post.

@KuJoe How is it not loaded without users' consent?

@downey is it still loaded when it's disabled with no API key?

@KuJoe Do users have any control over that? No. Enough trolling; enjoy your block.

I guess my legitimate question about how software I've never used works was too much? Oh well, that basically tells me all I need to know about this claim.

@downey @MastodonEngineering I thought hCaptcha was the good one. Disappointing.

Adblockers will always be a necessity.

@downey @MastodonEngineering weird that they went for a proprietary solution instead of something like mosparo

@downey @MastodonEngineering I said, they don't really care about us anymore.

@downey @MastodonEngineering but it's true we could argue about DeepL translation feature too, if we take this as we take it.
