Updated cupoftea.social. Importantly now I have authentication from federated servers for pulling data and the like so egress and load will reduce greatly

I'm going to be taking a break from Masto Admin things for a while. The Burnout admins have to deal with is very real and difficult and sheer amount of work has gone on top of me of late.

I leave you in the very capable hands of @accelshark

I find this whole thing creepy. That an AI agent is asking for an account then going back to discover we have a rule of No AI accounts.

I feel i have to say that no one HAS to donate to be on cupoftea.social it is no problem if you cannot afford to donate or any other reason. I only ask those that can afford to and feel that cupoftea.social is worth while to donate to. Everyone is welcome
