    no worries, I’m sure lemmy will get there.

    call me paranoid, but it’d be super easy for any big tech corp to spin up a federated instance for scraping data to train their AIs. … 😥

    at least they probably can’t link your account to the rest of your internet traffic so at least there’s some anonymity. right? right??

      Unfortunately, yeah. Re: point one - I’d be absolutely shocked if there isn’t such an instance already, or if the activity isn’t being scraped direct from ActivityPub via some other methods.

      Re: point two … idk man, I’m one of those idiots that still has Facebook at the moment, and I’ve seen some shit that makes me suspicious (though whether that’s based on my lemmy activity or any one of a number of other leaky things is anyone’s guess).

      I simply don’t know enough to state anything with confidence, but know your Lemmy activity (generally speaking) is very, very public. Anyone want to chime in and call me an idiot (re: this topic, otherwise I already know) with examples? It’d be deeply reassuring :)
