Comment on Is Meta Scraping the Fediverse for AI?

Every time this pops up I have the same thing to say… there is nothing that is stopping them from setting up their own federated instance and via the ActivityPub protocol have everything delivered to them in a neatly formatted package ready to ingest, no scraping needed and nothing we could do except try to defederate with them, but we’d have to know which servers are theirs.

I’m more upset that they’d be scraping the HTML rather than just federating and saving the server bandwidth.

Yeah I understand the resource utilization concern but a lot of people are pissed about ingesting their comments. There were people who actually thought putting CC terms on their posts would actually do anything.
