gollark: outnumber
gollark: In any sort of reasonable situation, the several hundred online users will vastly number API requests.
gollark: 1. screening of ideas in advance doesn't mean they'll have clean/good code2. people won't make hatcheries constantly for no reason3. yes, badly programmed ones might do stupid amounts of requests, but people will say "this is slow, avoid it"4. there would be few enough that TJ09 can complain at people who do it wrong - or just add rate-limiting
gollark: That does seem kind of unlikely.
gollark: The fact that login does require some signup in advance for the return URL and all that?
