  • If meta wants to data farm lemmy, what’s to stop them from hosting a 1 user instance, being federated with lemmy, and…? Profit?

    I’m not worried about information going that way, it’s an open source deal, information is already going that way.

    As for getting more content from another instance? I’m not against it, as long as it’s regulated, and at risk of defederation if it gets out of hand

    It’s silly to think they can’t scrape data from where they are though.

    What’s to stop them from starting a tiny instance, getting all the data, and just keeping quiet about it?

    The threads people are already happy to have given up that data, and if meta becomes a problem, defederate from it, or find an instance that isn’t federated with meta threads.

    I don’t care either way, but I hope they’d be welcome as long as they kept their instance cleaned of the kind of things other instances have been defederated for.

    If meta wants all the data there are plenty of other ways to get it, pretending the fediverse is an impenetrable shield is silly. And maybe more people will learn about the fediverse in this way.
