Running a raspberry pi k8s cluster and following as many people as possible to try and test mastodon capabilities with hpa.

@tim Hello friend, could you please support my children by sharing this? My children are waiting for your help.

@tim Please do not use humans and their time, unconsented, to do your own testing.

This wasted my time reviewing the profile of a follow request, thinking it was genuine. This kind of using-humans-for-personal-ends behaviour is reminiscent of the current AI goings on.

I think a more considerate approach would have been running your own Mastodon instance and testing your cluster on that.

@juggles @tim haha, yes, this was my case too... "oh, that was a nice post from a year ago"

@tim This also wastes the resources of volunteer-run instance servers, that were set up to facilitate humans connecting to humans, not as free infrastructure to stress test your own projects.

[mattiasaxell@mastodon.acc.sunet.se]

@tim also curious

[naturemc@mastodon.online]

@tty Exactly. I’m being inundated with notifications about ancient posts and thought: it’s either a stalker or AI.

@tim I am not a test subject for unsolicited experiments.

@Zardoz oh that is an an awesome plan and cool career

[tim@holm.community]

@jalict it keeps crashing so I am trying to have parallel pods running on multiple clusters it decides and got it kinda stable also using argocd

@tim not upset at all, it's also nice to discover people this way, especially when they have original projects. ️

[wandy_dev@theatl.social]

@tim I'd be very curious to see your findings!

[zardoz@gigaohm.bio]

im hyperfocused on creating parallel systems.

@tim that sounds like it’s worthy of a blog to publish when you’ve got it working well.
