Heads-up for anyone who doesn't want their posts scraped and handed over to an LLM.

@dalias this person really does not understand what consent is, does he?

[yvandasilva@hachyderm.io]

@dalias @lawyersgunsnmoney he them goes and insults everyone here who values privacy even the slightest to top it all off.
Then criticized the Fediverse and pointing reason why he left.

Just typical harassment/abuser "You are the problem, not me! It's all your fault."

[lawyersgunsnmoney@mstdn.social]

@dalias I *very*much appreciate your sharing this info. It’s people like like this, stealing and monetizing Fedi people’s info (leaving aside he’s an entitled douche). I’m blocking him right after I ‘share my feelings”
For awareness:

[macacator@mastodon.social]

@dalias done. Don't need yet another weirdo wanting to scrape my sac for info

[faraiwe@mstdn.social]

@dalias what app is that??

[faraiwe@mstdn.social]

@dalias holy fuck, how is that individual, instance AND client still NOT BANNED???

Cc @stux

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@faraiwe It's a web-based app at zeitgeist.blue. You're supposed to give the site access to your social media and slop-vendor accounts.

[fartnuggets@jorts.horse]

@dalias blocked and reported to my instance admin, thanks for the heads up!

[faraiwe@mstdn.social]

@dalias I'll give him access to my middle finger, the douchestack turdknuckle techbro

[drsbaitso@infosec.exchange]

@dalias Just block the whole alpaca gold domain, since he's the owner:

[jadus_developus@transfem.social]

@drsbaitso@infosec.exchange @dalias@hachyderm.io way ahead of you, thanks for the heads up (found this from browsing the global feed)

[b@mrrp.place]

@dalias thanks for the heads up - just blocked the entire domain since that person is the instance owner and the instance has an AI generated banner image

[xan@xantronix.social]

@dalias oh hey it's that union buster

[crow@cville.online]

@dalias thanks for the heads up on this, and to mastodon for how easy it was to block the entire alpaca.gold instance.

[drsbaitso@infosec.exchange]

@Lisabet8931 Search for his profile, click the three dots, bottom(ish) option should be "Block Domain" or similar.

[gwozniak@discuss.systems]

@YvanDaSilva @dalias I mean, if he leaves, he will not be missed.

[h3artbl33d@exquisite.social]

@dalias

What a douche. Turns out I have suspended that instance already - from previous fuckery.

[yvandasilva@hachyderm.io]

@gwozniak @dalias this!

[paraw@mathstodon.xyz]

@dalias thanks, but how do we also block anyone who uses their client? I mean, how do we figure out if one does?

[grahamdowns@mastodon.africa]

@dalias Funny, I was just thinking the other day it would be really nice if Mastodon gave me the option of opting IN to have my posts scraped by an LLM.

Because I remember that cool Twitter game a few months ago where you could ask ChatGPT to analyse your Twitter profile and tell you all about yourself, and it was often way off, sometimes on the nose, and always hilarious.

I tried to do that with my Mastodon profile, and it told me sorry, it is unable to access my Mastodon profile because it's been blocked.
