    Arguably, anyone can scrape lemmy for free. Of course, it’s illegal, unless explicitly allowed by the license of the respective instance.

    It’s sad for reddit though that they could have the option to protect their users from scraping, since they are big enough to enforce their rights. But yeah, profits.

    Can I sue them btw to pay me for whatever value my comments and posts have created over there?

      Scraping lemmy is as easy as setting up a server advertising it on Activitypub and all the data will be sent straight to you.

    The AI training clause is the least of my concerns with reddit these days.

    Lol, the AI is just going to emit nonsense like “holy hell”, “thanks for the gold, kind stranger”, “I too choose this guy’s wife”

        If Reddit want it, yes. That’s why that protest was one of the worst attempts of making noise on internet what I ever seen.

    Man that reminds me that I haven’t deleted all my posts and comments yet! Anyone got a good program for that?

      If you delete content it just flags it as not public, Reddit will keep the data, they have shown this by undeleting content in the past.

        Yeah, I just wanna rob the place of all the content I put on it. If they reinstate the comments and posts ill just request a complete EU compliant clensing
