@foolishowl@social.coop relatedly, everyone seems to have forgotten how to make things degrade gracefully. if I can't even view the basic text on your basic website when I block the megabyte of JS and CSS you try to serve me, or worse, you actively block me from viewing it to "block bots" or "prevent your content from being copied"... what are you even doing?
