@mina @chris_evelyn And no, I didn't subsribe to any such shit, and neither side Alice or anyone impacted in that thread! Nobody did!

The asshole switched off the relays only after discovering that my host doesn't relay with any of them but still boosting my posts.

This is the same fucking shitt behavior from all these fucking fuckers: they know they wouldn't get enough opt in, so they just so and release a broken piece of shit into the wild.

Again, if you can't or don't understand that and why we in that thread feel violated, then there is no need for further discussion here.

@mina @chris_evelyn It did eveything without opt-in, without consent!!

And it is buggy as fuck, this asshole released a buggy piece of shit into the wild doing things withiut the consent of the people whose posts it interacts on.

My posts should've never been boosted as I am no mo public relay. I feel violated, and if you can't understand that feeling then you aren't looking for answers but rather answers that you like.

This type of automated crap full of bugs without prior informed consent is what drives more people away.

Consent is to tell everybody what you are going to do and do it only to thise who actively opt in, not any other way.

@mina The idea of Fedi is a human-interaction system, we do not expect our posts to be boosted by bots, especially not without prior consent.

This is a bot-only system where bot-accounts are created automatically; there is zero interaction between the bot (and the bot owners) and the post's author.

This system assumes that a major goal of posting is to have a large reach, but this ain't Twitter, this ain't Threads. Most people use hashtags as a search-help, not as an audience-reach tool.

I have e.g. now switched to Followers Only-posts anymore, as I had enough of techbros like him arguing like this. I don't really want reach, I just know that there are people who watch some of the hashtags I post, that was the reason for using those hashtags at all.

Now, no hashtags anymore because I can't know if another techbro comes around the corner doing whatever with my posts.

There are tons of reasons why we love Fedi, and of which is that there is no algorithm and no automated system to gather reach.

@mina Here is a thead where it is explained why this is a bad idea

@faithisleaping @NicolaElle I believe you, and if it was any other day/evening I would agree, but not tonight; tonight I'm planning to eat something entirely different.

@NicolaElle @faithisleaping Ok, I will be gay, but I ain't eating cookies. I'll eat something entirely different.
