Ive been on reddit for more than a decade. Kinda bittersweet, but its not the first time I have moved on from an internet site. I just cant support reddit and sucking up all my posts for AI purposes. Feels terrible and spammy. Ive been a reddit premium holder for many many years.

Anyways, what communities do you recommend?

Of course, it's just less likely since Lemmy isn't owned by a (now) publicly traded company that is a shadow of its former self.

It’s likely less likely because the user base and SEO isn’t at Reddit’s level. That said, it’s ripe for the picking. Freely available data for Gen AI, and the admins don’t have a legal team like Reddit.

I think it's also a smidge less likely in the sense that the data would have to be accessed/scraped from many different instances, as opposed to the sort of bulk data reddit seems to be selling. So I'd say protection from AI is much the same as lock protection. Someone can almost always pick the lock, but if you deter folks they'll look for easier targets. If you want to ensure none of your words are used by AI, post nothing.

Wouldn't an AI company simply set up their own instance to have all content federated to it? I don't see any barriers to hoovering up the content here.

Bingo. No need to ask for permission, no rate limits, documentation/source accessible. I would have zero surprise to find out some engineer from an AI corp had made some pull requests to fix bugs or performance issues that would be mutually beneficial for us users and their collectors.
