They prevent incoming traffic from kbin. Sp, only leach kbin's contents, but not sharing back.
Some users accused developers as being tankies. Not sure how true this is.
Oh they're absolutely tankies, dessalines website is crystal clear on that. To me this is simply a test of the fediverse. If it works as intended, the devs political orientation shouldn't matter. We'll see.
Are we talking about the devs of Lemmy itself, or people specific to .ml?
.ml is run by the Lemmy devs.
Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up!
Oh that’s not good. That goes against the spirit of federation. I wonder what their reasons are.
Nobody knows for sure, but my guess is they blocked any request with "Bot" in the header, and blocked the "KbinBot" by accident.
Just a guess though.
