I just finished (?) making an... big essay? (IDK how to translate реферат in english) using y thoughts as summaries of every chapter and then filling the rest of chapter contents with mostly AI-generated text.

AI chat bots, even LLaMA-based ones like Open Assistant are good at "Rewrite his one sentence claim as a big scientific text". What is bad is that this should not be useful in the world where schools and universities don't require unnecessarily big texts instead of small lists of points made or something

Made a big cleanup of my rss feeds

Decided to delete a lot of spamy subscribtions that were too interesting in theory to unsubscribe immideately, but too much of articles per day to actually read

Also fuck twitter for changing their api to the point I can't see nsfw posts without an account at all, I conpletely lost ability to view artwork my favorite twitter-only artist

Why is a lot of Mastodon users are so obsessed with things that "can be abused for harrassment" even without any real world example?

It was one of the reasonings to block instances like udongein - "but it is possible to "signal" bad posts" or something

This reasoning is now used for trying to say that full text search on public posts should be fediblockable because it can be abused for harrasement by keywords

If you take this reasoning you could really say that everything on fediverse can be abused - including "lack of markdown, MFM and html formatting in mastodon" (potentially can be used to subvert misskey/pleroma post meaning by screenshotting in mastodon then posted as screenshot to frame someone), "misskey emoji reactions" (can be used to make Mastodon person unknowingly push harmful content to akkoma and misskey users as something that he sees as favorite but actually is an custom image), "any post and reply" (could be used for harrasment, can be not screen reader friendly)

I think it is mostly fine if this search only works on public posts and respects post deletion. I understand it may be misused, but almost every feature of Fediverse software can be misused as well, and I myself really think search of public posts is a useful feature for finding older posts that can contain useful information.

Making some flag for indicating of post should or should not be searchable by instances (not by search engines since already have an option in profile) in addition to content visibility would be nice, but well, only if someone would actually make it and search capable software would start respect it.
