BeAware :fediverse:<p>Just a warning for Fedi devs:</p><p>If you plan on building discovery features for Fedi, BeAware of the "Fedi Mafia" that harasses, threatens, and abuses any dev on Fedi that DARES to make an open platform a little bit more usable.🤦‍♂️</p><p>Over the past 2 months, I've seen 4 Fedi projects that were building tools to help people find accounts and servers to make it easier to find content on Fedi, get shut down because people who don't understand that Fedi is OPEN, harassed and threatened the devs until they shut their projects down.🤬</p><p>So, if you plan on building these tools, PLEASE just be prepared to block and continue building your tools.</p><p>Ignorant people should not dictate how this protocol is built. Don't let the abusers win.</p><p><a href="https://social.beaware.live/tags/Fedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fedi</span></a> <a href="https://social.beaware.live/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://social.beaware.live/tags/FediMafia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FediMafia</span></a> <a href="https://social.beaware.live/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActivityPub</span></a> <a href="https://social.beaware.live/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://social.beaware.live/tags/FediDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FediDev</span></a> <a href="https://social.beaware.live/tags/Developer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Developer</span></a></p>
