#PSA I plan to sign into https://Zeitgeist.blue on Saturday 4 April to see how it works. This is a new client that uses "bring your own LLM key" as an approach to distill/curate Fediverse timelines. If you want to opt out of any of your posts going through personal LLM inference, please unfollow me and block me by then.

**Update**: you can also add #nobots, #noindex or #noai to your profile and Zeigeist will ignore your posts: https://github.com/seldo/zeitgeist/commit/90b09ad6f683d7059ef4a5c4a3883704a7e71057. I hope you do this instead of blocking me, but both should work :)

I am going to use an Anthropic API key, and my understanding is that your posts would *not* end up in a corpus used for training after I do this; this is inference only, and in principle I will be the only one seeing the results.

If you have any concerns or need an extension for some reason, do reach out! I can also then let you know once I stop using the tool so you can optionally remove the block.

Zeitgeist

Summarize your Bluesky, Twitter, or Mastodon feed

I'm on social media to interact with other *people*.

If you're using or building a tool to scrape, analyze, summarize what I post — fuck you.

#NoAI #NoBots #NoIndex #NoBot

fediverse个人简介标签作用:
#nobot 禁止自动化程序
#noAI 禁止AI
#noindex 禁止索引

比如:

  • https://discover.holos.social 表示可以使用 #nobot#noindex 阻止 @HolosDiscover 以及删除已索引内容。
  • https://github.com/seldo/zeitgeist 不会爬取含有 #noAI 标签用户的帖子来生成每日摘要。

    @seldo they were not honouring #noindex to begin with.

    @rysiek

    We are onto them now.
    #noai #noindex #nobots

    @paul @chad @mastodonmigration

    I was just there reading that and I set the #noindex and #nobots in my bio now.

    How could he make that account so you can't just block it?

    @chad For what it is worth, the dev of that AI timeline tool says it now supports several ways to stop it.

    Zeitgeist now:
    * respects the `noindex` preference if set on your account
    * respects #noindex or #nobots if those are in your bio
    * sends a unique user-agent ("Zeitgeist/1.0") if you want to block the client entirely.

    Edit to add: It also says it respects the #noai tag in profile bios as of yesterday:

    [Admin] Die App zeitgeist.blue ist jetzt auf biplus.social blockiert.

    Auch wenn die App inzwischen die Hashtags #noindex or #nobots respektiert - ohne expliziten Content Inhalte eines Servers in ein kommerzielles LLM zu füttern, halte ich für mehr als problematisch.

    Danke an @spielleitung für die Anleitung.

    This post is a test of a custom rule for Cloudflare I've been working on, and of my own conspiracy theory.

    Forgive me my tinfoil hat: I have long suspected that the use of these tags (above), in fact, results in attracting more attention from crawlers/spiders/bots/whatever; that said automated systems exist which are specifically instructed to look for these tags, and to index any and all pages in which they find them.

    If and only if my custom rule blocks a notably higher number of attempts to index this post alone, as compared to any of my other posts individually, I assume my theory is true until otherwise proven.

    I will provide an update about this whenever I have one.
