Laurie Vosshttps://zeitgeist.blue is a multi-social-network app that summarizes your feed for the last 24 hours to let you catch up with doomscrolling. Now with support for Mastodon!

@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.
@janl I was not aware of those! I'll add support.
@seldo I also strongly recommend reading my write up (no really) to save you some of the pitchforks that were thrown my way.
@janl There really are a bunch of tedious bastards on here, aren't there? I remember why I left.
⠠⠵ avuko@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:
https://github.com/seldo/zeitgeist/blob/main/app/api/summarize/route.ts
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.
