fediblock, unconsenting content aggregator

This is bad for 3 reasons:

1) Some people’s posts automatically delete after a certain time, & they do not authorize sites preserving past posts.

2) Some #Mastodon instances content are copyrighted, opening up a potential lawsuit

3) @boyter may lose out on future jobs or with future clients, as scraping sites without permission will hurt his reputation
