Robert Kingett<p>As you can see from <a href="https://cathode.church/fedi-scraper-counter.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cathode.church/fedi-scraper-co</span><span class="invisible">unter.html</span></a> they don't respect the <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/NoBot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoBot</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/NoAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoAI</span></a> etc. Tags. And in my experience, especially online, people are rarely searching in good faith, they want someone to pick at, but the bigger issue is the above violates consent, so if I have the <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/NoBot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoBot</span></a> tec tags on my profile, everyone of those would scrape my content anyway. The other half of this is refusing to comprehend that there are a large number of people that don't want to be other's content and want to post among their federated circle and value organic, human, growth over someone just randomly finding them. While this isn't fully me, for example, anyone can see me, but I don't wanna interact with everybody, which is why I don't have <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/WebMentions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WebMentions</span></a> on my blog for example. In truth, I don't want any data of theirs on my website, period, and this includes social media replies. I'd like a one way web mention instead, where they know I linked them but interaction is on my terms not theirs, but going back to the above, the above gives examples where consent is violated. Not everyone is worth interacting with online. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@miturian" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>miturian</span></a></span></p>
