I guess. But that was an assumption on you guys' part as well. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I'm curious about the "in general" part, though. Maybe that's a part of the philosophy I don't quite understand yet, but how's the kind of scraping that I mentioned any good? Or is that not the right question to ask?
I don't understand the part where you say that my view is narrow. I am talking about a specific kind of data scraping. I'm not sure what I've said that has lead you and a few other people to believe I'm necessarily worried about people getting hold of "my data".
Am I just expressing myself badly here?
As for the rate limiting, that's closer to what I wanted to know. Thanks.
I don't think web crawlers overloading instances by downloading huge amounts of content and sending thousands of requests is the point of the Fediverse.
But I might be genuinely confused here. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That's interesting. I haven't seen that on my instance yet! Curious whether they will roll that out.

Did I? I can't see how.
