@wyatt Oh, I see. Terrible, but predictable. I know from last year that the fediverse - especially Mastodon and the like, not so much a locked-down Hubzilla instance, I'd think - generally tends to be vulnerable to bots snooping around...
Yeah, sprawling dependencies suck. I can't agree with 100% of the suckless group's philosophy, but they have quite some good points. -

It's also something 4chan people like (which is where I first encountered it, when I used 4chan like 10+ years ago), and even then I thought it sucked.
i like stuff that's actually good, and npm isn't actually good. But my opinions on dependencies come from practical matters of fetching and building them and eating up gigabytes of disk space (for rust projects) and hundreds of megabytes (for javascript/npm ones). I made similar observations largely independently and drew differing conclusions on what I wanted. -

I guess that explains the obnoxious "OpenBaSeD" fans too...
