Do you have tips for how to handle a relative who’s engaged with a pretty directly evil company/business practice?

Also true. It is called social media, so I’m pretty okay with anything happening to any of the comments/posts I make. All the same, I do expect vaguely better behavior from moderators.

I think this will exemplify the beauty of federation. If I find out my instance mods are running all of my comments through a company’s ai model, I’ll switch instances. This is in great disparity to something like Instagram or Snapchat where every photo I post is immediately fed to ai and my only options are: be okay with it, never post, or delete Instagram.

At least they’ll keep them on now 🤷‍♂️

This may sound like a weird thing to do, but I realised that many crawlers and golems are somehow still able to get past my Anubis. I presume they have gotten smarter and are capable of using Runes.

To counter this, I want to ethereally link my Anubis to an locane setup such that:

Ether > mage tower > Anubis >Iocane > my orb

My hope is that two different filtering mechanisms one of which will actively poison and waste the golem’s energy) will protect my realm better.

I thought I’d ask before actually trying out something like this.

You should pitch this direct to someone running a project you use. I’m interested as well.
