Now this was actually submitted via a POST request from the Python standard library (`urllib.request.Request` and `urllib.request.urlopen`) to the endpoint `/api/v1/statuses`, with only two added headers (Authorization, and Accept="application/json") and default (if any) user agent. I've probably made this little mystery a bit too obvious by reducing it down so far, but can *you* guess where the false attribution is coming from? EDIT: of course, there was also the param `status="Well. I think..."` in the body of the request. If we're trying to be technical and comprehensive here.

@MaddieM4@raphus.social It's still the silliest and most frustratingly "we copied some transparenty growth-hacking design from Twitter because it was just, uh, there. and didn't think about whether we should actually want it, or if we should want to modify it in any way." piece of Mastodon design.
