@seldo how can I make sure my posts are never used by this app to be sent to an LLM vendor?
@janl You would need to block me from following you, I suppose.

@seldo you personally or some app account?

(Note that this kind of stuff is not well liked here on mastodon, I got browbeaten into shutting down just a search engine that worked that way, let alone exfiltrate a timeline into an LLM provider)

@janl Me personally, and also anyone who uses the app. It's just a mastodon client, fetching the timeline. It looks like every other mastodon client.
@seldo yes I know. I’ve written about my experiences extensively: https://searchtodon.social/Adventures-in-Mastoland.html
@seldo Great, what's the user-agent so us admins can start really blocking it? @janl

@aurynn @seldo @janl Surprise! "Just a Mastodon client", so he doesn't set one, I imagine it'll just use the default Next.js user-agent header: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aseldo%2Fzeitgeist%20headers%3A&type=code

It looks like it uses 'Zeigeist' as a client name when OAuth'ing, but that would only let you block its use on servers you control - people who follow you on other servers (or who you've DM'ed who use it 😬) still have full access to your posts:

@neoluddite @seldo @janl Well, we'll do a PR for it.

Ideally, if we get a sufficient quantity of admins on board with blocking the UA, we can stop the spread of this kind of insipid techbro slopmongering.
