PointlessOne :loading:<p>The latest drama is that Automattic is about to sign a deal with OpenAI to train AI on WordPress.com and Tumblr content.</p><p>Everyone’s got very angry about it. Everyone also conveniently forgot to even mention that OpenAI probably already had crawled most if not all of WP and Tumbler.</p><p>Automattic also allows users to opt out and that fueled the Opt Out/Consent discussion that started a bit earlier. I’ll get to it later.</p><p>Just the day before (or it feels like it) Google signed a deal with Reddit to get all the data to train their AI.</p><p>Everyone’s got very angry about it. Everyone also conveniently forgot to even mention that Google of all corps probably already had crawled most if not all of Reddit. The $60M Google paid is a convenience fee to get a nice db bump instead of having to scrap and clean up all that text.</p><p>Reddit doesn't let user to Opt Out.</p><p>Last week (or it feels like it) one guy wanted to bridge public toots from Mastodon to bluesky.</p><p>Everyone’s got very angry about it. Everyone also conveniently forgot to even mention that people could read those toots just using a different client or a browser. All the bridge did was bring toots to a different audience and allowed them to engage with those toots.</p><p>The bride also allows people to opt out and that rekindled the Opt Out/Consent discussion that started a bit earlier. I’ll get to it later.</p><p>Some time last year a guy built a Fediverse search engine because discovery between instances is terrible.</p><p>Everyone’s got very angry about it. Everyone also conveniently forgot to even mention that most toots are indexed by big search engines anyway but because they rank low they just rarely surface in the results.</p><p>The search engine also allowed people to opt out and that kinda started the Opt Out/Consent discussion. I’ll get to it in a bit.</p><p>Some time later a completely unrelated thing happened. Discord decided that they won’t let people hotlink images uploaded to Discord.</p><p>Everyone’s got very angry about it. But also this time people didn’t forget to mention that you shouldn’t use discord for anything you don’t want to lose. Thing like lore, documentation and basically anything that can be useful 5 minutes after it was said better be somewhere else. The reason is Discord servers are private in the sense that you have to use a specific piece of software with an account to access it. Anything posted there is not accessible outside, including through a search engine.</p><p>While all this was going on quite a few people in seemingly unrelated fashion were expressing dissatisfaction with interactions they were having on Mastodon. Specifically they were angry about certain types of replies they were getting. The replies were not threatening or insulting but they were not welcome in a way that I’m having trouble articulating. The most common case I saw is someone would post something open-ended or state a problem they have and they would get a bunch of suggestions how to possibly solve it or people sharing their experience either affirming the problem or otherwise.</p><p>Some people got very angry about this. They also conveniently forgot to even notice that this is a non-standard arrangement and they want to Opt Out of the more common case provided by the platform.</p><p>So finally we’re at the Opt Out. There’s a lot of different takes but the main thrust is that things should be Opt In instead of the other way around. And I agree. Where I don’t agree is that you all Opt In when you post stuff publicly on the internet. Once you do you set your thing free into the world. You resign control over it. You do not expect to opt in to every single read on your blog. If you want to control who access what you write you don’t post it on the internet in public, you send it in private. Consequently you do not retroactively revoke access. You all know that internet never forgets. You can’t unpublished things on the internet. It was already copied, screenshotted, and archived. And you didn’t know what happens to it unless you’re told.</p><p>Public stuff on the internet is public.</p><p><a href="https://status.pointless.one/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://status.pointless.one/tags/WordPress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WordPress</span></a> <a href="https://status.pointless.one/tags/Tumblr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tumblr</span></a> <a href="https://status.pointless.one/tags/bsky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bsky</span></a> <a href="https://status.pointless.one/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bluesky</span></a> <a href="https://status.pointless.one/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://status.pointless.one/tags/OpenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAI</span></a> <a href="https://status.pointless.one/tags/OptOut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OptOut</span></a> <a href="https://status.pointless.one/tags/OptIn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OptIn</span></a> <a href="https://status.pointless.one/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a></p>
