So, #WordPress (.com) is evil now, but is there anything stopping AI scraping of the #fediverse?
Wasn't #Tumblr going to federate? I am all for just blocking them now that these things are happening, but what's stopping others? Couldn't there be servers out there just silently taking away all of this?
We also have #RSS feeds for every user profile and hashtag, a feature I love, but a double edged sword.
I really want us to remain open and such, but they make it really hard...
@joel no, for better or worse the design decisions of Fediverse/ActivityPub leaves it not only open but even welcoming to scraping.
And people need to realize how little control they have over anything they post here.
There is no real privacy here. It’s a public square sort of situation. Do not post anything you don’t want to air in public.
