A controversial developer circumvented one of Mastodon's primary tools for blocking bad actors, all so that his servers could connect to Threads.

Authorized Fetch (also referred to as Secure Mode in Mastodon) was recently circumvented by a stupidly easy solution: just sign your fetch requests with some other domain name.

      No, you’re right. Everyone who downvoted probably also went on an angry tirade first, but they just didn’t type it out. Totally the same. 👍
