they cannot seem to appreciate the value of nestling down among a small group of friends and sharing genuine things about yourself

for real though these tech guy types seem to live in a different fucking world, where being visible + discoverable and indexed is some kind of virtue in and of itself

re: (non)consent, techbros 

@DiaDemiEmi@tech.lgbt yeah.. "works" :>

@tobi it seems wrong to profit off discussion about consent/scrapebro's like that :")

@Luissen@furry.engineer exactly, this is something that needs to happen on the instance (already has all this data) or client (limited to what that client could've actually seen on the timeline)

@Seirdy@pleroma.envs.net yeah that one was terrible as well :") fucking scrapebro's

Just published my article/devlog about FediFox Shield, my project for a nicer public Mastodon frontend

It goes deep into some technical details I had lots of fun implementing, but also explains the overall motivation, and next steps for the project

re: Searchtodon meta, scraping related :boosts_ok_gay:​ 

it's kinda weird seeing how even normally more critical people are responding to this. There's a thin veneer of "consent" and "private" but his service is still building a giant searchable index across everyone who uses it. like wtf. The software has merit when part of an instance but why would there ever be a centralized setup
