 A so-called "AI-powered social network start-up" has started cloning posts from across the Fediverse without asking permission. You can find out more in this discussion thread: https://social.wake.st/@liaizon/112603447990005434 You might want to defederate from Maven, the domains to suspend are: maven.ly This defederation will be much more effective if you have "authorized fetch" switched on, more info about it at https://fedi.tips/authorized-fetch (via @liaizon) 24 comments
@homegrown @liaizon Ew. But also, who is asking for this to exist? Like who tf is out there thinking, 'Gee. I wish social media were more superficial.'? @homegrown It might also be fetching posts from a public api endpoint. It would be a good idea for masto admins to disable "Allow unauthenticated access to public timelines" in "/admin/settings/discovery"  @hireillo They have an acount with your name and posts too https://app.heymaven.com/profile/66713 You can search profiles here in the search-field: https://app.heymaven.com/discover Not sure what exactly is going on, but reading the comments in this thread is explaining something Might want to check it out how to block them and have them take down your profile. @itchi5 @homegrown thanks! Actually blocked them about 30 minutes ago. Didn't know about the profile though. I'll look into it.  @sage I know a lot of game creators will post discussions and snippets of their work on here and may not appreciate it being used in this way   @KevinGimbel @homegrown @kev that doesn't work in this case as they "ingested" the posts in a weird non standard way... @liaizon @homegrown @kev then block the servers? I was under the impression that something could be done π₯²   @kev @KevinGimbel @liaizon @homegrown Does blocking the domains/IPs from the Mastodon admin interface not work? @homegrown @liaizon and we have another scrapper who openly admits that will sell the data (first 10 days for free lol) https://ursal.zone/deck/@Ursalzona/112602899062032969 They are on Mastodon Social too. Andrei is the mastermind. I blocked them all.  |
