Are bots scrapping lemmy the same way they are scrapping reddit? Or is this place safer from scrapping?

Or is this place safer from scrapping?
Everything is scraped. Lemmy is wide open. Some instances are using Anubis or other methods, but everybody who wants to scrape the fediverse can simply setup their own instance and will get everything delivered without any hassle.

You don’t even need an account to browse Lemmy. This is among the easiest platforms for that.

it’s even easier to scrape than reddit. in the current world you gotta assume everything publicly accessible is scraped and used for ai training
They are gobling up all the goblins they can for their goblinry.

It’s called ActivityPub. It’s basically RSS on steroids. The content here is about as public as it gets.
It wouldn’t even be fair to call it “scraping”, you just run an instance and the data pours in like a firehose.
It’s really important to know this if you’re on the Fediverse. If you’re here for privacy, big oof.

Wished to post some of my personal work here, hence the question arised. I was hesitating from posting on reddit cause everything you post there eventually will be fed to AI.

Do you want the stuff you post to become public? No? Then do not post it. Easy as that.

Can’t escape that. Unless you go private forum and only invite people you trust.

I would wager that everything you post on Lemmy, including your votes, end up ingested by an AI within an hour.

Anyone can make a server and then they can scrape their server or database without issue.
So much easier.

Scrapping is what you do to an old car that is no use anymore to turn it into parts
You mean scraping. I don’t think there’s as much here as researchers don’t know about lemmy
