Tbh, the whole twitter rate limit thing is interesting from a privacy standpoint.

Pixelfed has limited apis for anon users and required login for certain actions, and now I’m kind of conflicted.

The point of this was not to create a walled garden, but rather to deter mass crawling, this is why we also return empty outbox and follower/following activitypub collections.

Maybe a privacy friendly default with the option to make your public data more accessible via api is a better solution, wdyt?
