thanks Reposting this CatSalad ​​

stahp fuzzing the system publicly. 😅

We have enough trolls around, don't give them ideas.

Set a couple of private instances, federate them, and fuzz/pentest that.

That way you can report your findings directly to the mastodon team, and not publicly, for zero days to wreck havoc in the fediverse.

This is a nice place, don't ruin it. 🙏

ok if that works how I think it does it should not be allowed like to the point that if PHP and Ruby weren't incomprehensible eldrich gibberish to me I would seriously consider a creating a pull request for Mainline Mastodon to filter that kind of stuff out

what does this mean?
