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

[yvandasilva@hachyderm.io]

@dalias that escalated very quickly.

tedious bastards who want to use social media to socialize with each other instead of minmaxing the Engagement

@dalias WTF?

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@lawyersgunsnmoney AFAICT he made a bot you hand your social media credentials over to and it logs in to all your accounts, scrapes everything, and passes it to an LLM service to "summarize" (and keep for training). Utter clownery. Normally I would just block, but I'm screenshotting and sharing this because it's a privacy threat to everyone.

[lumi@snug.moe]

@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”

[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.
