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

@dalias thanks
Looks like they are going to implement respecting the #noindex tag in profiles but I've blocked anyway as this is just terrible

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@paul That's the thing. I don't want noindex. I'm happy with *indexing* to help ppl find things they saw and want to revisit. What is not cool is preparing derivatives of things I said in order to misrepresent and impersonate. Which is what the slop companies will do with it.

@dalias thank you, I'll just defederate alpaca.gold in case @seldo@alpaca.gold decides to scrape from other accounts there

[tootbrute@fedi.arkadi.one]

@dalias seems like a good candidate for #fediblock  just like we did to meta.

adding this alpaca guy now to defederatelist.

[lawyersgunsnmoney@mstdn.social]

@gunchleoc @YvanDaSilva @dalias That is great, thank you!

[paul@notnull.space]

@dalias yep, absolutely true.

I've seen someone else has blocked the instance IP address. I will be doing the same! (benefits of running your own fedi-server!)

[hashbangperl@hachyderm.io]

@atax1a @dalias same old same old

[yvandasilva@hachyderm.io]

@HollieK72 @kendricklmao8 @dalias
If you want to block another domain, there is also alpaca.blue

[hashbangperl@hachyderm.io]

@dalias I guess by work he means "make me money from others creativity"

[yvandasilva@hachyderm.io]

@xri @dalias
Random guess:
To sell to others

[dexternemrod@troet.cafe]

@dalias
@dalias
Because of this insult:
https://alpaca.gold/@seldo/116286295716964968 I wanted to report the account. Turns out, the person is the admin of the server. So I blocked alpaca.gold for my account.

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@YvanDaSilva @xri Kinda, but I think the point is kinda to be able to dismiss people's opinions as whatever the slop-extruder claims is the "summary" of them, but pretend you considered them.

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@dexternemrod You can still report, just not forward the report to him. Then your admins can act on it and block the instance for everyone.

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@YvanDaSilva @xri Like, if you have techbro brain and someone in your replies says something insightful in a way you haven't heard before, it has a chance of breaking thru and making you reconsider things.

But if you get it "summarized" by replacing it with a blend of the closest commonly-repeated stuff from your corpus, you're gonna interpret it as "oh yeah, just more of the same complaints I've already dismissed".

It's basically "turning your audience into yes-men as a service", which sounds like his peers would love it.

[yvandasilva@hachyderm.io]

@dalias @xri 100%

[backfromthedud@mas.to]

@dalias They want to be blocked? Happy to oblige!

[gcvsa@mstdn.plus]

@dalias I recommend a #FediBlock of all this slimeball's accounts and his alpaca.gold instance. He's got accounts on Bluesky and Threads, as well, so make sure you add those.

[missinformation@chaos.social]

@dalias @dexternemrod i blocked the entire domain

[missinformation@chaos.social]

@dalias vielleicht auch was für @ordnung

[dexternemrod@troet.cafe]

@dalias
That's new to me. Thank you!
