I have decided to block the author of #zeitgeistBlue , an app that can scrap the content of a user's timeline on various #opensource platforms, including Mastodon, and feed it to an #AI for it to generate a summary of the user's activities during the last 24h. Problem: it also index conversationa generated and posts by followers. It has been pointed out to this person that this totally runs counter to what the #fediverse stands for and her response has been to insult & disparage his critics.
Please, do not harass this person. This is useless and no better. Several people have been to a certain length trying to explain to him why #fediverse users aren't really thrilled to have their content fed to an #AI without their #knowledge and #consent, but he doesn't seem to want to understand. The best course of actions, in my view, is to block him and his instance alpaca.gold (which he is managing). With sufficiant block, this my prevent too many people to discover his app and try it.
@ariane
Thanks for the heads up. Added a bunch of filters in case their app, instance, or profile comes across my feed again.
