What is true here is if someone visits your "profile" on a pod whilst logged, it, yes yarnd fetches it in the background if it wasn't already cached, as a "once off". This is true.

@movq Ahh yes, that is probably the case π€£ To be fair I don't think too much about how things enter my cache, I just _assume_ it's either someone on my pod following them or whatever.
I didn't follow at first because:

Which probably means @asquare is probably using a client that doesn't publicise its user agent or has it turned off? π€

@bender Fair enough π€£ To be honest, I don't really have an opinion either way, I think what he's done is a bit "silly" of course, but I dunno. I've never. been invested in Wordpress as I said.

@xuu I guess the way SimpleX does its routing is quote clever and ingineious really. -- However we never designed Salty.im that way. That wasn't an attack vector we were really concerned with right? I've been using SimpleX with you for the last day or so now and reading up on it, and whilst there are some overlapping and similar ideas I feel that SimpleX has slightly different design goals right?
I mean Salty.im is more designed to be self-hosted, with good crypto but we never tried to set out to build a complex multi-broker, relay network-type protocol right? Do we need to? Probably not I _think_. Hmmm π§

@doesnm I mean generally speaking you would cache things for a period of time right? There are other things you could do as well to build a better more resilient system. These are good conversations to have, however we, and by we I mean mostly @xuu and I really, haven't had a lot of time to spend/invest in Salty.im of late π
@doesnm Are you interested in helping continue it's development with us? Do you have any experience with cryptography and/or programming language like Go?

So... Yes all this is sorta/kinda true, remember I used to work there once (_great place to work, awful company_). It isn't by design or on-purpose I don't think, at least not from the perspective I had back then.
What really needs to happen here in general, and I've said it before; is this:
> Profiting off of user-generated data and metadata should be made illegal.
Social Media (systems) don't need to be regulated beyond not allowing minors to access social media. But if you enact the changes to laws (_see above_) such that profiting off of userdata is made illegal, then you minors can be potentially "safe" from predators. Let's be honest, predators are the "big tech" companies that make this shitβ’ highly addictive to the point where it "rots your brain".
