Add "No Scraping" Disclaimer to #QOTO public info ? (BEING CLEARER ABOUT NO SCRAPING CONSENT...) 


about

Adding Disclaimer to IS MUCH CLEARER about scraping consent... (regardless of what big companies do or don't ignore)

Please add:

🚨 "No consent given for commercial usage or data anywhere on or from QOTO, including scraping/using/processing anything in any way. You must get express consent from each and every user personally for such permission or data usage." 🚨

(The above topics was from a post before to Freemo and qoto.org/@freeschool/112868647 that I saw worth re-writing again and re-considering, more than complaining when it happens and when we don't write anything on the wall about them scraping / *raping us).

* RAPING = Destroy and strip of its possession

(so as 2nd meaning, "raping" its not far from un-consented sex as it is destroying / stripping us)


about

============================

The original post was moaning a bit but wasn't asking for the moon in this point 1/ and I couldn't see why it would not make sense (even trivially / aesthetically) to added SOMETHING about consent and asking individual users first to scrape them.

❓ Like why would it even be bad? ❓

Below is more text as a "refresh" of that post but above says it all in much shorter form without almost begging people to try defending themselves / making things clear for both us and ...
qoto.org/@freeschool/112868647

============================

Below is the refresh (can skip all below - unless you want more of the same logic)...

"What they do Freemo is not what we're only looking at. We also have to do our bit and say about / try protect QOTO and say so to those others 'this' is what we do and don't want- IF they ignore it or not that's on them.

Us telling them is our responsibility and sign on the door THEY DO NOT HAVE CONSENT.

I don't understand people who don't mention things because "they will do it anyway" - surely this is bad logic and even encouraging them.

To complain after without saying is fucked up. The fact that that massive companies are ignoring things is BAD but THIS KIND OF LOGIC IS BAD too.

It's terribly bad to mention "rape" or extreme words but it might jolt the logic in people that YOU HAVE TO SAY NO TO BEING MOLESTED TOO, (a poor example but logic is same - say no first, not after or stay silent).

Anyone looking back in time will just say "They never actually expressed their dissatisfaction or did any effort to repel such a thing!" or not ,

"There's nothing there to suggest they even cared!" they might say

Being clear helps a the whole know it's happening too.

So yes it does count freemo and have value to users - we're not just looking only at what they do - but how we express and conduct things. So please add...

"No consent given for commercial usage of data anywhere on QOTO, including scraping/taking/using/processing anything in any way. You must get express consent from each user personally for such permission or data usage."

@unusnemo I see. You could try qoto.org/@freeschool which might outside of your interface as a separate URL / page - see if that works, if not tried already.

:ablobwave: #QOTO people about leaving / people blocking QOTO etc... 

people - about leaving / people blocking QOTO etc... :ablobwave:

I'm messaging you because of mixed reasons - not all bad but it seems that many of the people included here want(ed) more as many of us have been posting about or around things - some solved but many around the Fediverse also itself.

I've personally seen how it's going too... also having talked to @freemo (many month before now and un-responded) and asking for more (even without his help directly but under his and our own watchful eyes to do *something*)... Again not all his fault and also about my wants and other people's with just social / Federation rules by others / not being blocked etc...

So I'm seeing a few more people talk about EXPORTING out and I also was thinking and why I included you all... Freemo has often done great and a stellar job in communicating with people on his instance but it was a bit patchy and did need branching out / enabling other somehow (a bit like fans running the band's website or at least helping themselves through the root / music band's website / QOTO).

Anyway I have a lot of energy still but after seeing a few comments about other people BLOCKING or similar (and my friend also creating a Mastodon.Social account and not able to see my posts) means we have to solve this somehow... maybe having two accounts? I don't know (I'm also seeking your help here).

Checking hashtag makes some of this clear about people's intentions or direction so I hope we can crowdsource and help ourselves if Freemo is often out of communication or at least this level... or just life... We have to find a way...

Not sure about leaving totally as it's "their fault" and not all QOTO (though a lot of what I want and what any social needs is direct investment and building people in itself, not just the storage resources and Techies)...

But anyway... a few words for you all. No harm intended.

See hashtag and see if you can help the others..,

is broken even worse than I thought. Replies don't go through to other instances. Why not open another - new qoto instance of old qoto? It will be cool to have 2 qoto instances anyway - one big and one small for those wishing for more quiet small place.

BLOCKED I THINK

Mastodon.Social is blocked to QOTO users - or at least a friend signed up there and can't see my messages sent directly to him. |:(

@unusnemo Hi, I really appreciate anyone who can explain as well as this.

And I feel immediately that I need to work with people like this (or find something to do together) because communication is the root of almost everything / all work, and anything is possible from there...

Even if not totally the same - there is still a lot to do and enjoy, a lot of which we do alone and could do together more often.

So if you can find something in my profile, perhaps also how or what I communicate, then please get in touch.

I'm happy to talk about anything (or even say why not more clearly than most). All can be good between good people.

Hashtag is my attempt to put my best in one place - if you'd like to have a look and comment on some I'd appreciate it...

Thanks again for the post. I'll have a look at some more...

@rootwyrm Sure I believe you (without you even stating what it was) but this is the long-burn work that some get it immediately and some don't - and either way from the minute you said it, it take time... At least he has reach and it's better than nothing / something now... (and not all on either of you completely - a reflection the rest of us we're not as fast or you'/our way of disseminating / implementing isn't on point enough - so that the work I see).

If for example people *actually talked* (audio conversations) and not just 1-way text or even 2-way I think people would feel that audible MUCH MORE than text which everyone has been doing for far too long and too 1-way by nature of cold / misunderstood text or simply the non-humanness of it.

Those are my coins in the tin - See for more answers (e.g. "developing people not just tech!" - "we have too much tech, it's now about people understanding / cooperating more from more diverse fields") ...

@briankrebs the problem is a LOT more than that. I've been running email servers for 30 years.

People cramming in OAuth WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT.
People insisting on passkeys WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT.
People who suggest PGP WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT.

We actually know and have known what is needed to fix this shit for a LONG time. The problem is that the big three (MS, Google, and Yahoo) have basically hijacked what "email" is and are making the problems worse while also creating no end of new ones.

agrees with this type of thinking...

"...radical leftist of the "I think "I think everyone should be able to live and be happy as their authentic selves and love the folks they want while housed and not have to worry too much" variety. "

We gotta get rid of MIT & Apache licenses.

Use #GPL, or better yet the #AGPL or #EUPL depending on your needs.

Why work for free, for the benefit of capitalists?

uutils is especially disappointing for me for that reason

@em_and_future_cats ICE is in fact a militarized version of INS, which it replaced. It was created in the wake of 9/11 by fearful and ignorant Americans who believed it might be possible to prevent another 9/11 through -- let's not mince words -- racial profiling. It was only a matter of time before the insidious racism and jingoism of the US fused ICE into the dangerous secret police they are today. It's a special kind of evil bred of our own dark id monsters.

Fediverse = lack of anyone dedicating to #caring for it's users more personally - we're too #alone and I'm not proud to be a #pioneer like this!... 

Uhff = Seeing your old post in #2026 - almost a year to the day from lack of anyone else dedicating to for it's users more personally - we're too and I'm not proud to be a like this!...

Only providing one-way mass spaces with no-one personally driving their instance and space,...
urghhh... dry...

Thanks I guess - - a tech instance is not enough, we need humans answering / pushing / educating / warming up with the others ! Captains / people driving the ship forward socially else we just stay drifting with no pioneering / much less discovery / progress / just tech which gets rug pulled...

Humans hold their and can share them better than cold !

We can't stay humanly cold / unlearned / just in text-modes...
Ouch .

My post I'm referring to is about Browsing the web and being watched / activities logged...

(that post a bit unrelated to this post 💬

But I guess I'll see this post soon enough a year from now.... so here's the last! (also without human comment, or interaction from / @molly0xfff )

People are doing good work but more-personally we're not building OUR MASS - just a few specialists talking to the who are far from able to even reply sometimes...
