Not arguing the uselessness of opinions about mods, especially on reddit. That said…
You do realize that google, and everyone else, scrape the hell out of lemmy right? This shit is 100% public and the nature of federation means that even if some instances officially have some rules against scraping, it just has to be federated to an instance that doesn’t. Only reason the fediverse isn’t talked about more in terms of use as training data is that it has significantly less content, not because it isn’t being used.
Steve Huffman is a pissy piggy boy because he killed the API (just to sell this now exclusive data for cheap), like his hero Muskie did. Many of us ended up here not because of our data being sold, but because he gated how we can use the platform, besides other weird decisions. There’s no monopoly on hoarding Lemmy’s data, it belongs to everyone, and everyone can scrap it. What irks me and others is that he claimed it as his property, what is probably right by their EULA, but hasn’t been done in years Reddit existed.

Not OP.

I realize that Google didn’t pay Lemmy creators millions for the “privilege.”
Reddit got paid for YOUR words.
