If any of you is curious about how best to block Meta or any other faceless corporation from interacting with your posts on Mastodon, you(r admin) will want to look at turning on AUTHORIZED_FETCH for your instance. This setting, partnered with a bog-standard suspension of an instance, ensures that your posts won't leak to that instance.

It works just fine. I've had it turned on on Old Mermaid Town since almost day 0, and we federate with other instances, even other fedi software, just fine*.

* Almost. We found a weird follow bug with Bookwyrm which we are still trying to identify.

#PixelFed anti-scam measures in the browser Inspect dialog. 👏

I've opened the Inspector on a Pixelfed site in Firefox and I'm greeted with: "Stop! This is a browser feature intended for developers. If someone told you to copy and paste something here to enable a Pixelfed feature or "hack" someone's account, it is a scam and will give them access to your Pixelfed account."
