@aral Uh, it's not just corporations. I don't like GPL because it means we can't use other people's code /in our open source stuff./

Corporations ARE NOT the only reason to like permissive licenses.

So yeah, no, I'm absolutely going to say "fuck the viral nature of GPL" just to spite you now.

@Ash ...unless this /wasn't/ actually meant as a "haha you can't do anything anyway!", but considering all the other people we've been having to deal with all of a sudden, I'm not particularly hopeful.

@Ash And neither are you. Please do not fucking PILE ON just to snarkily yell at me for asking for basic respect.

@Ash Hey, could you please just FUCK THE FUCK OFF?

If another site is letting Google kndex random servers' posts through them, that a) has very little to do with this and b) is a misconfiguration on their part, and THEY'RE not respecting people EITHER.

[update: it sounds like the search respects the profile discoverability opt-out, which federates, unlike the "search engine indexing" thing which does not? That's much less bad than we thought. It should still be opt-IN, though, not opt-out. https://oliphant.social/@oliphant/110373855153327649]

so apparently universeodon.com is doing FULL INDEXING on every post they receive, without consent. It sounds like maybe even non-public posts??

"we didn't get people yelling at us, so it must be okay! but now people are? what the fuck?"

I don't usually make fediblock posts, but uh
yeah if you don't want to be indexed without consent...
#fediblock universeodon.com for fulltext indexing incoming posts.

@iro_miya like
/consent/
it's /not that hard./

@iro_miya They do? Well they fucking SHOULDN'T!

@iro_miya Because if they find a post in the federated timeline, that's like... they just happened to see it.

Don't let people SEARCH for whatever kind of people they don't like and harass them.

Also just like, I'm cool with people /happening/ to find my posts, NOT with them being able to /search/ for them.

If you want to search for my posts, ASK FIRST. It being public is NOT CONSENT.

@Polychrome "You should have been told that when you joined"

No. Fuck off.

We have had TOO MANY PEOPLE, with TOO MANY THINGS, tell us "you agreed, so it's okay!" / other variations of "It's Just Like That, Deal"

No, it is /not/ "just like that", we can make a better world where consent is respected, and... yeah, no. Go with your "but it's Just Like That" somewhere /else/.

@errante@rot.gives @mint@ryona.agency Dudes? Dudes.

There is a big difference between "public" and "searchable". It's not that hard. But most importantly, please don't fucking come in and HARASS me about it.
