    I mean as far as feeding the data to AI, isn’t Lemmy worse? Any data on the fediverse is as good as public and would just get gobbled up by AI or adtech in an instant?

      To me, it’s not the AI data that’s the issue. It’s reddit, effectively, turning off all of the API, then selling the data they aren’t producing themselves. I think if any instance owner told their users they were going to start selling things that were posted to their instance, their users would find other places in the fediverse to set up shop.

      That’s not the issue. The issue is Reddit is profiting off other people’s work. All the mods that do pretty much all of the lifting get nothing. That and the CEO getting a big ass pay check off of it as well.
