Edit: I’ve been corrected about some of the claims I made about Content Nation. I accept that it wasn’t designed to be a scraper, though it presents as one to admins viewing web server logs. I will be more careful with my language.

I was also wrong about the technical details of how it works; thanks sincerely for the lesson.

It was not cool for some vigilante to deliberately cause Content Nation to cache CSAM and then report them to the authorities. Fuck the person who did that.

@triton hey, this might not be known to you, but the ActivityPub API isn't push-only; There's a whole bunch of GET requests in there, e.g., retrieving the actor document, retrieving the followers collection, the featured posts collection, the likes collection, etc.

Collections can be updated via push (POST to the actor's inbox) or they can be synchronised by GET request too.
