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

@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.

@dalias never have I wanted to see how many times an account was blocked as badly as I do now
-
@dalias To be clear - what he says there is actually incorrect. The bot logs in as whoever is using it, so you'd have to somehow know who *every* current and future user of the bot is, and block *all* of them.
@dragonfrog @dalias He vibecoded the thing anyway; not surprised he has no clue how it works.
-
@Barmaid on est d'accord que la personne + son instance + ses alias et les alias de son mari sont/vont être bloqués ?

@Lisoo on va bloquer les utilisateurs connus de l'application en question mais ça ne va pas suffire.

@janl@narrativ.es You would need to block me from following you, I suppose.

This person announced they left Mastodon because it doesn't work for them, and then "I'm back! And I'm scraping your shit for AI!"

@theorangetheme @dragonfrog @dalias Ah well. Might as well just block his whole server on principle anyway, even if it isn't a technical fix.

@jbaggs @theorangetheme @dragonfrog It's not a technical fix, but ostracization is a social fix.

@billyjoebowers @dalias There is no OpenAI or Anthropic to me now. There is only Ed Zitron: https://wheresyoured.at/

@dalias @jbaggs @dragonfrog One of the many things I appreciate about the fediverse is that people care about the social aspects of these systems. Like sure, obviously you *can* scrape everyone's posts and shovel them into the slop extruder, but you *ought* not to, and I trust that a large contingent of the fediverse feels the same way and generally wouldn't do that. "Just because you can doesn't mean you should" is very clearly alive and well here, based on the responses, and I love it.
