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 Molto interessante, sarò lieto di defederarlo se non otterrai risposta.🤔

    @stefano I recall VWestlife got similarly hit with a bunch of YouTube channels a couple months ago that were mass uploading AI-generated summaries of his and other people's videos without permission (the videos themselves were just a static thumbnail image and title caption from the original video, with an AI voice reading out the AI-generated summary). He had to file copyright takedown requests to get them removed since there were no human owners to contact.

    @Quinn9282 I think it may be something similar...

    This was the NetBSD story, right? I saw the story too (using the same image as yours), and found it weird.

    @mjack yes, exactly.

    @reiver I'd consider interoperating social networks to be "federated", but I know it's not a precise term. There are similar ambiguities with other commonly used terms: decentralization, server, node, instance, and so on. We have our personal definitions but find that others have a different mental model than ours. It might be interesting to have a collaborative social web glossary that captures the variations of how these terms are used.

    Vacations are wonderful. It is a privilege to be able to travel without worry. It's also wonderful to be home, and to have the time to work on projects I care about. With those thoughts in mind, I present release v3.1.1 of Ktistec, an ActivityPub server written in the Crystal programming language!This release is a mixed bag of small features and improvements:AddedAuto-link URLs in posts. (fixes #24)Support searching by actor username. (fixes #102)Support hourly granularity in metrics charts.FixedMark actor as down if refresh fails.Remove draft posts from the everything collection.Ignore charts with no points in the date range.Ensure HTTP::Client instances are closed.I added support for multiple users at the beginning of the month. I'm very interested in feedback on how that's working out for anyone using it.#ktistec #fediverse #activitypub #crystallang
