@blinry
Correct me if I am wrong:
You wrote a tool that enables people to download complete Mastodon threads from other participants / on other instances?
So that's NOT made for collecting OWN content, but for other people's content?
One question:
Isn't that called STEALING?

@khzimmer2 @blinry the use case given was turning your own thread into a blog post - transforming your own work, not stealing someone else’s. But sure, I guess you could use this to download any thread - perhaps to convert to read on an ebook or whatever. Or steal it 🤷
