@stefano Sorry this happened to you. This isn't content, it's plagiarism. Period.

EDIT: the person I contacted replied and the new posts have the correct attribution. So the problem is solved.
There is a Mastodon instance that publishes content from its own PeerTube instance. These contents are narrated aloud, likely by an AI, in several languages, and are based on articles that appear online. Today this happened with an article I shared from my blog.
The problem is that there is no attribution to the original author and or the original source site. On the contrary, it gives the impression that the content was produced directly by whoever runs that site or instance.
This is completely detached from the idea of properly sharing information. Taking inspiration is a wonderful thing. Claiming someone else’s work as your own is not.
I contacted the account in question this morning. I have not received any reply, even though other content has been published in the meantime. A short while ago I also contacted the instance administrator.
I will wait until tomorrow morning. If I do not receive a satisfactory response, I will publicly disclose the instance and the related content and block the entire domain. There are additional details that I prefer not to reveal at this time which further worsen the situation.
This is not how we act in the Fediverse.
In the Fediverse we respect one another.
Let us avoid bringing improper practices here. You are free to use my posts as you wish. You can even make money by applying my advice.
Just do not take away my attribution.@stefano Take this kind of behaviour DOWN. We need to sink this bot trash down below the gutter!
We defend ourselves. Not anyone else.

Just do not take away my attribution.@stefano That’s foul play. If it’s easily doable, maybe put up an, um, “special” blog, specifically for this domain? One that it would probably not like being read aloud? Because I assume that the nonconsensual harvesting is done automatically.

@_elena @stefano @incentive Suspended by an instance admin that is no other than themselves, I have so much doubt. But let’s wait for their written views on the problem… but reporting is good. It helps, it draws a line between the fediverse and the least acceptable.
