Would lemmy instances do this?

I know they can't afford to now, but hypothetically? A lot of people here don't seem to like data scraping for AI.

Your Lemmy posts are already being scraped for AI

The level of effort it would take to prevent would be infeasible to ask of even a non volunteer admin let alone a volunteer let alone literally all of them

That's what I figured, but I am envisioning a future where lemmy is huge and the network of admins is quite sizable.

I guess that doesn't change much?

  1. Run Lemmy instance
  2. Gain userbase
  3. Intercept data users are reading and posting from your instance and others
  4. Feed to AI
  5. Profit?

Lemmy is way less privacy oriented than reddit and that's by design.
