I think it's a beautiful service. But I do understand that it annoys you. i had the same feeding in the beginning.
Just opt-out if you don't like it.
Haa your admin announced it?

C.cazabon@mindly.socialJun 28, 2026, 7:06 AM"Just opt out" is also the refrain of the unsolicited commercial emailer, the "AI" content scraper, and the politicians who exempt themselves from unsolicited advertising rules.
It is my firm opinion that one should not *have* to opt out of this kind of activity, because it should be opt-in from the start.

Your instance admin decided it for you...
The chaos.social instance is not using it at all.

No it is not.

Especially on small, unknown instances it makes a difference.

@reiddragon
Can you explain it a little bit more?If some instances defederate tags.pub, then their users won't see it.
But others will see.
So fair enough if they block it.
I, as a Pixelfed instance admin will not block it.
Pixelfed is not supporting relays yet, but if it does, I will think about adding it tbh.
But I will inform all my instance users about it, so they can decide it they want to opt-out.

@reiddragon
So how else you want to push all the unknown services to the other instances? The tagpush.app and tags.pub help there.
To be honest: i wasn't aware that tags.pub uses also relays for subscription, see https://socialwebfoundation.org/2026/06/28/unsubscribing-tags-pub-from-open-registration-relays/ . I'm not sure when this was added , but now it's removed.
@evan - was this newly introduced (and now removed) or how did all the conversation started now and not like month ago? Thx for your feedback

Thx for the information.
I really don't understand, why so many have a problem with it.I like the service, (if I wouldn't, I would remove it from my instance / block it on my account)
