There is a Mastodon instance that publishes content from its own PeerTube instance.

  • There is a Mastodon instance that publishes content from its own PeerTube instance. These contents are narrated aloud, likely by an AI, in several languages, and are based on articles that appear online. Today this happened with an article I shared from my blog.

    The problem is that there is no attribution to the original author and or the original source site. On the contrary, it gives the impression that the content was produced directly by whoever runs that site or instance.

    This is completely detached from the idea of properly sharing information. Taking inspiration is a wonderful thing. Claiming someone else’s work as your own is not.

    I contacted the account in question this morning. I have not received any reply, even though other content has been published in the meantime. A short while ago I also contacted the instance administrator.

    I will wait until tomorrow morning. If I do not receive a satisfactory response, I will publicly disclose the instance and the related content and block the entire domain. There are additional details that I prefer not to reveal at this time which further worsen the situation.

    This is not how we act in the Fediverse.

    In the Fediverse we respect one another.
    Let us avoid bringing improper practices here. You are free to use my posts as you wish. You can even make money by applying my advice.
    Just do not take away my attribution.

    @stefano thank you for sharing and keep us posted Stefano 🥺

    @stefano I love it as a goal, but I can't respect the tankies, the antisemites, and the other bugbears of the left

    @stefano

    Not only unethical and AI-ick, it's copyright infringement. Every author/site of an article they've done this with has a case to complain here.

    It should be able to get this account booted from its instance on this alone.

    @stefano Sorry this happened to you. This isn't content, it's plagiarism. Period.

    @stefano Take this kind of behaviour DOWN. We need to sink this bot trash down below the gutter!

    We defend ourselves. Not anyone else.

  • @incentive if they won’t fix it, I will do it tomorrow morning (that is: in 12 hours from now)

    @stefano That’s foul play. If it’s easily doable, maybe put up an, um, “special” blog, specifically for this domain? One that it would probably not like being read aloud? Because I assume that the nonconsensual harvesting is done automatically.

    @ArtHarg interesting idea…

    Hello FediverseIf everything works out according to plan, when I hit publish on this post it will show up in the #Fediverse. After a year of on-and-off attempts, to implement #ActivityPub on this website, with no success, I have hopefully cracked it! Well, when I say “I have hopefully cracked it,” what I mean is @pfefferle@mastodon.social and the #WordPress “open office hours” program, have cracked it. It turns out; if you have a problem with the WordPress ActivityPub plugin, the best thing to do is disable other plugins and, though a process of elimination, see if one of them is the issue. So big thanks to Mathias and WordPress for your help on this.Now this is working and I am broadcasting out into the Fediverse, I feel like I should modify my content a little to appeal to all of you woke, leftists, godless, communists 🙂 out there. For a while I was far too smitten with the every little #Sustainability initiative, every little carbon reduction program, and every other bit of  #GreenWashing that was put out there by brands. Full confession I actually believed that ElonMusk wanted to save the planet! Yeh I know, I was naive…While I do continue to applaud any actions that a corporation takes, that materially helps either people or planet, it’s clear that problems are systemic. We need corporations to shift from Shareholder Primacy to Stakeholder Capitalism, valuing environmental and social impact alongside profit. Or try someting completely different. Right now, if there is a more sustainable or ethical brand choice to be had, we should always take it, but we must understand, that we are not “saving the planet” with those choices, just minimising our impact. Nebula TV channel, Our Changing Climate,  has this excellent video on the subject of Ethical Consumerism.It turns out, that whoever first pointed out “Corporations are Psychopaths” was mostly correct – How a corporation is designed to function, putting shareholders before people and planet, is psychopathic behaviour. (Psychopathic behaviour includes a lack of empathy and remorse, superficial charm, manipulation, and a disregard for social norms and the rights of others.) The only solution is to rewrite corporate charters and incorporation acts and include specific legal provisions that mandate environmental and social responsibility, shifting the core purpose of business beyond mere profit maximisation. Ultimately Corporations and their leaders are never going to fully act in the best interests of people and planet, because that’s not what they were created to do.So the plan, for 2026, is to be posting more content here that challenges both brands and the whole system. To shine a light on the negative impacts to people and planet that brands are having. And to share more content about organisations and companies working on regeneration and decarbonisation.Please follow and share your thoughts and ideas below.#activitypub #branding #corporations #fediverse #sustaiability #sustainability #wordpress

    Moin Leute ich brauche mal ein bisschen #fedipower zum Thema Mastodon / Activitypub Bots.Gibt es eine einheitliche API mit der ich zum Beispiel bei Mastodon, GoToSocial, Misskey etc. Nachrichten / Bilder für einen Bot Account abliefern kann oder kocht da jedes Projekt sein eigenes Süppchen?Ich habe für Emby ja schon Plugins für Telegram und Matrix geschrieben und würde nun gerne eines für das Fediverse bauen. Aber nur um ein paar Statusmeldungen abzuliefern wäre ein kompletter ActivityPub Client in CSharp wohl overkill (und auch ausserhalb meines Horizonts).#activitypub #fediverse #bots #softwaredevelopment #emby #boostok #pleaseboost

    @Nead @markwynerIf there's a revenue stream, there will be obstacles to the stream. Like self-hosting, other instances, other softwares using the same twisted Mastodon protocol. In the best case scenario those will be competitors to crush, sooner or later.In the worst case they could become the ideological enemy, while they actually ARE the Fediverse. The REAL one.
