FYI, any data on Lemmy can be used for the same for free. The federation infra can even be used to give AI models more direct access than even reddit is likely giving them. Just in case anyone is assuming that because this is community-run that it means the data isn’t being sold. It’s not, but it is being accessed by the same entities, if they want it.
Fuck Reddit. That website has been selling our data and using it to train AI… I say fuck 'em

great catch! you can actually see the AI slop when it pops up. REddit is dead, and you should delete your data from that cesspool

The users are still the users though, not the product like Reddit.
Oh yeah, not saying they are generally equivalent, just in that one particular aspect: access to comment data for any purpose.
Yep.
TBH I think it’s kind of silly for the Fediverse to try and block scraping, as long as that scraping isn’t effectively a DDoS. It’s public.
