不好意思要 rant 一下，和 ChatGPT 抱怨了好几页之后让它简单做了个总结。虽然 AI 味儿重了点但倒确实几乎都是我的原话……

长毛象这两次 RSS 风波我都围观上了，我并不算赞成未经授权的抓取和公开（虽然我也不太在乎），但是呢，每次被抓取的这些人都是假定对方是出于恶意并且在长毛象先开始骂人，那对方又不是瞎子是吧，虽然回击的口径也是非常好笑，总扯到“极端女权”上，可长毛象抱团的一些用户讲述事情经过的时候怎么只字不提是你们先骂别人下贱、畜生、傻逼之类的呢？明明平和沟通就能解决的事，最后又变成网络升堂，太可笑了。

本来明明应该继续写我的阅读报告——并且眼看就能完成，为什么要手贱去看吵架？我庄严宣誓下次再也不八卦了！

The internet was built on the principles of openness and free information sharing. Once something is published online, it becomes accessible to a vast audience, and this is something every internet user should understand. If you wish to keep something private, the best way is not to post it at all. Expecting to control or restrict access after publishing on the open web goes against the very spirit of the internet.

Some users, particularly those from smaller, tightly-knit online communities, often bring their unwritten, invisible rules to the broader web. They may assume that others should automatically follow these norms, but this creates conflict when the larger internet community operates on very different expectations. For example, when content is made available via public formats like RSS feeds, it’s unreasonable to accuse others of wrongdoing for using or aggregating that content. Instead of assuming ill intent, a respectful conversation could resolve misunderstandings.

Unfortunately, conflicts often escalate because both sides react impulsively, with one side feeling protective and the other pushing back against perceived overreach. This cycle of defensiveness leads to unnecessary hostility. Such disputes often resemble arguments between immature individuals, where pride and emotions take precedence over reason and dialogue.

The solution lies in better communication. If someone feels their content is being misused, they should approach the other party calmly and explain their perspective. On the other hand, everyone should recognize that publishing online means embracing the possibility of broader access and use.

Ultimately, the internet thrives on openness. If you’re not ready to share freely, it’s better to keep things offline. Insisting on overly restrictive controls while engaging in public platforms goes against the collaborative and inclusive nature of the web.
