Thank you for your measured response.

Throttling PieFed users is bad enough, but throttling users of other platforms seems akin to censorship. Like if you want to access the full Threadiverse then you can do so from Lemmy + mBin + nodeBB etc., but if you access via PieFed then you don't get the full range of activities. In some ways PieFed is Threadiverse++ (the API supports user & post flairs, polls, emoji reactions, etc., on top of internal organization goodies like categories of communities if you use the web UI), but in some ways it is also Threadiverse—, intentionally choosing to ignore some contributions from the wider Fediverse.

At a minimum that would be quite... odd to explain to people.

And thank you also for the additional code peek!:-)
