Yeah, if the information in phone books isn’t in scope of copyright for failing to meet a minimum standard of “creativity” surely a random number shouldn’t be either.

But yeah. It sounds like the legal tactic Nintendo used to scare Valve (well, Valve was complicit, but anyway) was about the anti-circumvention and anti-trafficking parts of the DMCA.

Maybe the thinking is that whatever that server was raided for may have been federated to other servers, making them also targets for FBI raids.

Edit: Looks like the admin was raided for participating in a protest and the Mastodon instance wasn’t the target at all, in which case why did they take that data at all?

Interesting. I’m not sure how that works with an Open Source app. Will the API key be in the source repo? Will there be a server that Infinity routes through that adds the API key to the request? Will future versions of Infinity be proprietary? I’ll probably look into it at some point.

I meant that I loaded up Infinity specifically to check and see if Infinity still worked or not. Not to access any particular Reddit content. But Infinity still worked for me after I first saw this thread.

Edit: Ah, and I just realized I might have misunderstood you, not the other way around. Sorry about that.

I’ve now been tricked twice into breaking my Reddit boycott just to check and see if Infinity still works or not, and it still does.

Maybe Infinity just has enough fewer users than something like Apollo that Infinity hasn’t reached the request limit to where it’s been shut off yet.

(I don’t actually mean I was tricked. ;) )

Might I suggest Beanie Babies?
