My instance doesn’t sell what I write to train AI.
Of course, the AI sumbitches probably scrape Lemmy for content too like they scrape everything for content. But at least Lemmy doesn’t give them my content on a platter, nicely packaged up and ready to exploit and monetize. They have to do the scraping.
Some instances like solarpunk sit behind anubis which makes each request from scrapers cost exponentially more than usual. Its not much but at least people on lemmy have the mind to try and strike back, on reddit they take it laying down.

Eh, if they run their own ActivityPub server they can probably extract everything in a neat format.
Yeah but they have to set it up. It’s not sold to them ready to exploit - and crucially, Spez doesn’t get to make any money off my back.
Nobody needs your instance to sell anything. The AI companies can access the data for free, just like the rest of us do through the web.

and other instances that federate with solarpunk have almost the same data and are easier to scrape
