To those who automatically assume humans with "weird" setups are "AI scrapers" (also a bit of a boogeyman these days): FUCK YOU. I'm a human, not a stupid mindless sheeple.

Yeah, that's the part of the Fediverse that I really don't like...

All the talk about "putting the human first" and "embracing diversity" goes out of the window the moment you are not diverse in the way they want.

Some people feel like we are being turned into content producers for large corporations to monetize and they’re not entirely wrong. I don’t mind when people take a stance, even if their methods aren’t perfect and it may inconvenience myself personally.

If you’re in rush to airport or hospital and you are delayed by protesters for a cause you don’t understand, it’s one thing, I could understand a bit of cursing. However, this is someone’s web resource, they are free to do with it whatever they want, and they owe you and me nothing.

The problem is that not only their methods "aren't perfect", but completely ineffective. If you are posting on a public social network, your data will be available to the public, one way or another. The whole protest becomes a "performance art" kind of thing: it might be useful for creating awareness, but in most cases the people who will be seeing it are the ones who are aware of it in the first place.

I assumed the author was one of those HN haters and was filtering by referrer. Now I'm curious.

		No, I tried going to the page on a fresh incognito session. Same thing.
