I didn’t explain what I meant very well. To scrape a website you don’t need to understand robots.txt, implementing robots.txt is something you do to be a good netizen. But to get like info from Lemmy, implementing ActivityPub is a requirement.
Now I’ll admit, it’s not a great system and I do wish we had something better, but I also don’t think “this isn’t a good way to communicate preferences” is a good reason to ignore them.

“Although we are still assessing the impact, but overall, I don’t think it has any significant impact to our business and to our future performance,” Yang said. “So many other countries that have that kind of policies like Brazil and India. So actually it’s not a disadvantage, but probably an advantage for Lenovo.”
Yang went on to say that because of Lenovo’s global manufacturing footprint with facilities in several countries including the U.S., the company is more resilient and flexible allowing it to adapt to different scenarios.
Maybe, I wrote this because lemmy.zip geoblocks the UK so I had to use my VPN to see the image.

I didn’t say it was private, I said it wasn’t public, there’s a difference. If you asked me what number I was thinking of I’d tell you, but that’s not the same thing as the number I’m thinking of being public information. ActivityPub is, at its core, about consent. We have consented to having our data be sent to any person able to serve 200 responses on an inbox endpoint by using instances with open federation. We could, if that makes us uncomfortable, moved to a closed federation system where we only accept request from an allowlisted set of instances, with software that follows the spec’s public addressing system.
The comparison doesn’t work because both Lemmy and Mbin are implementing the same standard, while robots.txt is mostly an honour system.
You should assume voter data is fully public and fully open. It otherwise is in the federated ecosystem.
Information not being private isn’t the same thing as information being public.
Lemmy likes aren’t meant to be public, this is just other software failing to respect the privacy Lemmy indicates.
Damn, so this is how I find out we’re least trustworthy part of the commonwealth.
