@seldo @janl I sure am a tedious bastard. And proud of it.

Anyway, is the concept of Zeitgeist (compliments on the apt name, right on the nose) some clob of code spoonfeeding you a plausible bullshit summary of what's been happening using a personal LLM? No harm, no foul. At least not to me.

You're an adult, and solely responsible for any dissociation and brainrot caused.

OR! BUT! WAIT!
Is Zeitgeist going to consume the feed of everyone who subscribes and thus give Anthropic or Copilot access to content of the rest of us by unwitting proxies? Including people who post Follower Only, or even Private Mentions?

[takes look at the code]

Yes, this is giving Anthropic/ Copilot access as if a user:

https://github.com/seldo/zeitgeist/blob/main/app/api/mastodon/auth/route.ts

I see no filtering out of Private Mentions and Follower Only posts:

https://github.com/seldo/zeitgeist/blob/main/app/api/mastodon/timeline/route.ts

And yes, you'll shove it right into Anthropic/ Copilot:

For the "tedious" part: I cannot find evidence you gave thought to what impact your fun idea might have on others. You also weren't aware of the #noindex, #notbots tags, or why people might want those to be respected.

I know, I know, no fun, right? You probably mean no harm. But what you want to do, and what you're actually doing, are not always the same thing. Especially not if you don't read the room you just barged into.

For the "bastard" part: I'll refrain from ending this with a bunch of prompt injections in my status, aka your postsText. 

Why do I live in a world where I have to put this shit in my bio:

#nobot #noindex #noarchive #nosearch #nobridge #noai

in my profile, and pray that the techbro's bullshit bot respects it? Whatever happened to asking people? 🙄

@CoolerPseudonym @apps https://discover.holos.social/how-it-works says it all

so basically if you have any of these things set, then you're opted out.
So if EITHER
- you have 'indexable' turned off
- have follow approval required on
- have #nobot or #noindex in your bio
then you're opted out from holos

ブロックしたら収集データを削除してくれるらしい。基本的には通常のアカウントは勝手にデータ収集されるみたいだけど・・・

"When you block us, all your content is deleted from our index"

"We only index users who have not opted out. We check these settings before following:"
"User has not disabled the "indexable" option (enabled by default on most instances)"
"Account is not locked (no follow approval required)"
"Bio does not contain #nobot or #noindex hashtags"

@apps

So this dead horse flinched again

"With #HolosDiscover we checked multiple criteria before indexing: "indexable" enabled, account not locked, no #nobot or #noindex in bio, not in opted-out list, only public posts."

I'll copy-pasta with only slight edits:

My entire point (all the noise notwithstanding) focused on

Default opt-in versus default opt-out

This is an agent --> recipient transaction

Default opt-in: the recipient is opted into (and receives) the agent's action whether the recipient --> knows of <-- the action or not

Default opt-out: the recipient is opted out of (and cannot receive) the action whether the recipient --> knows of <-- the action or not

Neither default opt-in nor default opt-out have any logical meaning if

--> THE RECIPIENT DOES NOT KNOW OF THE AGENT <--

in advance

There was no mechanism for prior notification *before* indexing

People would have had to stumble on what you're doing, by how, exactly?

How dose the recipient learn of what you've done *before* you do it?
