social.lol has blocked tags.pub effective immediately. Even on the open web, consent is critical. Especially if you're taking someone's content and displaying it elsewhere, and doubly so if you're impersonating someone in the process.
A woman had her personal photos shared elsewhere by bots that bore her name, giving the appearance that she was sharing that content in those spaces intentionally (but she was not). And the man who runs the instance with those bots, despite his "Trust & Safety" badge on his profile, offered neither trust nor safety, instead choosing to mansplain the technical reasons for this disgusting intrusion and further belittling the victim in his responses.
So. Yeah. Apologies to anyone on social.lol using tags.pub. We'll immediately lift the block once they switch to a 100% opt-in model that fully respects people and their content on the Fediverse.
