I see no legitimate reason for not using a User Agent string, like all the other crawlers use, other than the desire to hide the crawler and make it difficult to block.
I don't accept his explanation. I see it as gaslighting.

Yes, it's worth it. I own mine for just the reason you give. You can take it to any other provider. And there's no danger of the email provider deciding to close your account or cutting you off unexpectedly. Imagine losing your email access. At least with your own domain, you can switch it that same day to someone else.
Unsure about whois lookup privacy. My registrar hides my details as an option. Anyone looking up the domain just sees them as the contact for the domain.
You can go to https://hear-me.social/ and click on the register button. This puts up a Cloudflare managed challenge screen which endlessly loops when using Pale Moon. It would be interesting to see if Waterfox has the same issue.
I just duplicated this. I downloaded Pale Moon and went to https://hear-me.social/ and clicked on "Register". It puts up a Cloudflare "managed challenge" which loops endlessly when using Pale Moon, but not the other browsers I've tried it with, including Zen, another Firefox fork.
It's a problem, for sure.
I'm so glad you pointed this out. I did not have this enabled on mine and I forgot about this option completely. I just enabled it.
I have a Peertube server, and I've requested to follow tilvids, and they denied my request, and they also do not follow my Peertube server. I think one issue with tilvids may be that they essentially choose not to federate, and therefore you won't find much because of this.
I just searched for "Gaming" on my Peertube server and I seem to get a non-ending list of servers. Unfortunately, one column wide, but a lot. When I search for King's Quest, I am also getting a seemingly unending stream of videos.
I follow every Peertube server I can that is clearly not fascist, primarily NSFW, NSFL, etc.
Maybe you just need to find a server that is more federated with other Peertube servers.
Are you using an obscure email provider? They may be rejecting the emails based on the domain name or because the IP address was used for spam ages ago.
I run a number of Fediverse servers and rarely, but occasionally, run into a situation where an obscure email provider rejects my server emails out-of-hand as spam. I think in my case it's because the IP address of my server, maybe years ago, before I had it, was used for spamming or something.
Anyway, if you're not using a mainstream email provider, you might try using a different email address.
Yep. A "private" message where the recipient is listed in the message is a DM in Mastodon. It will only be delivered to the mentioned person.
I'm American. I just bought 12 eggs for $5. What's this going on about?
Well said
