It seems there is a big bet on the value of “human to human” interactions on Reddit. Certainly that makes federated communities easy treasure to pirate? Does anything stop bots from web scraping/data-mining everything we say? I often think about contributing to PeerTube instead of Google YouTube but I feel like my content would be scraped by even more nefarious services quite quickly. Edit: Thanks for the feedback. Makes sense. Double edged sword of the internet. Still makes me hesitate to contribute.
Everything on the fediverse is public. Similar to open source, that means it can be used by anyone, for good or evil.
I don’t exactly see it as a terrible thing, if AI models don’t have access to Reddit’s data and so rely more on the fediverse, that just means they will be more aligned to the principles expressed here.
