The AI training clause is the least of my concerns with reddit these days.
I HAVE AN IDEA! What about… put the subreddits on private again? /s
Questin is, is data of private subs still sold? Likely it is.
If Reddit want it, yes. That’s why that protest was one of the worst attempts of making noise on internet what I ever seen.
Lol, the AI is just going to emit nonsense like “holy hell”, “thanks for the gold, kind stranger”, “I too choose this guy’s wife”
Training bots to talk on text generated by bots
I thought I would miss reddit.
I was wrong.
Quitting a platform is always easier than you think it will be.
YouTube is the only platform that I don’t think I’ll be able to quit any time soon. Hosting video on that kind of scale requires insane amounts of capitol, and P2P isn’t reliable enough, and I say this as someone who has streamed torrents before and has tried out PeerTube.
Also even if there was an alternative, having an alternative for creator monitization is even more difficult. LBRY and D-Tube tried to do it with cryptocurrency, but both of those projects seem to have fizzled out (and I think one is flooded with fascists nowadays).
Do you mean for posting content or watching it?
If it’s just watching there’s plenty of alternatives. Newpipe and YMusic on Android are pretty awesome. Also there’s Freetube on desktop and Invidious.
Posting content. I’ve been using NewPipe since the very first version.
Yea, thought that might be the case. I just wanted an excuse to promote Newpipe more than anything there. God I love that app.
You’re right, nothing compares to Youtube for video hosting. What do you post?
I don’t personally post much; I just want a good alternative that will convince the creators I watch to switch to a more libre platform.
Facebook definitely came with withdrawals. That one was tough. But five years later, I can’t imagine ever going back.
I set up a firefox shortcut for my instance with keyword “r” so that if I type “r+enter” I get startrek.website. Putting that unwanted muscle memory to good use.
Man, this is one I am on the way out of. Late, I know. But I genuinely keep up with friends and family there, also facebook marketplace has taken over the game.
Man that reminds me that I haven’t deleted all my posts and comments yet! Anyone got a good program for that?
If you delete content it just flags it as not public, Reddit will keep the data, they have shown this by undeleting content in the past.
Yeah, I just wanna rob the place of all the content I put on it. If they reinstate the comments and posts ill just request a complete EU compliant clensing
They don’t care. The content will stay either way. It’s been done before.
Enshitification Phase 2.
Phase 4
Ofc it does.
Glad I left that place months ago. What a sewer.
I thought I might miss it, but I don’t. At all.
Arguably, anyone can scrape lemmy for free. Of course, it’s illegal, unless explicitly allowed by the license of the respective instance.
It’s sad for reddit though that they could have the option to protect their users from scraping, since they are big enough to enforce their rights. But yeah, profits.
Can I sue them btw to pay me for whatever value my comments and posts have created over there?
There are GreaseMonkey/ViolentMonkey scripts that work fine as well.
I still use Reddit infrequently, and delete what few comments I leave after a couple days using those scripts.
They literally already sell our content. Why run it through an expensive warp?
Because people were getting it for free. This is just a way to monetize it.
