It has finally happened…not surprised though.

    It’s crazy that reddit doesn’t have to ask everyone if they want to contribute. This shows who owns and controls your posts.

      The actual crazy thing is:

      Imagine if somebody ran a Lemmy instance and just subscribed to every sublemmy and scraped all the data without asking. And nobody would even notice.

      Reddit owns the content posted on their platform. But when you post on lemmy, everybody owns it, including every data company large and small.

      But hey, at least we are feeling good about our social media platform choise, cause it’s federated and open source or whatever, right?

        I would say a good base assumption is that all content on the public internet is scrapped and used for AI schemes.

        It’s the other factors that matter.

        i’m fine with everybody owning lemmy because thats the point of it, users make it so users can use its data, as opposed to one asshole owning and ruining reddit’s user-made content for his own pursuit of more money, for himself only.
