@akamran @davidtoddmccarty If you search Google for #Mastodon hashtag scraping, you find software and programs that help AI for doing that. It exists.

Fact is that from today, the main instances mastodon.social and mastodon.online prohibit #scraping officially: techcrunch.com/2025/06/17/mast

Problem of decentralisation: admins/users of other instances must get aware of the problem and change their terms, too.

It may be funny but it's no joke.

TechCrunch · Mastodon updates its terms to prohibit AI model training | TechCrunchDays after Elon Musk-owned X updated its terms to explicitly prohibit AI model training, decentralized social network Mastodon updated its own rules to bar any kind of model training, as well.

My anti society
collision course
I charted to address
my many anxieties
is rapidly
approaching the end of the line

The impending
gravity induced crash
should be quite the event
given the acceleration
of my descent

The "I told you so"
chorus of the status quo
will be very pleased
#scraping up my bloody carcass
to mount on their Warning Wall

I sure would hate
to give these smug bastards
the confirmation validation
they so desperately need

Deceased me
playing the lead
in their future forewarning
history stories
to unborn rebellious
non conformist generations
about the folly
of living life brazenly
outside the rigid boundaries
constructed with bricks of bullshit

I guess it's time to confess
my internal trepidation

Those pointless
could and should ofs
as if somehow
we are the captains
of our destinies

For you see my soon to be
grieving comrades
the die was cast
for ill fated us
the day we were born

Playing the roles
fate precisely defines
scribed in the unwavering stars
