The level of effort it would take to prevent would be infeasible to ask of even a non volunteer admin let alone a volunteer let alone literally all of them
Wait, do you actually want those companies to make even more money from your data, and want these environmentally disastrous “bullshit generators” to keep on going? I’m not saying stopping them is realistically possible, but if I had to choose, I’d greatly prefer a world without AI.
It’s structural - you can be open or locked down, and it’s hard to decentralize if you’re not open
You can make it easier or harder to work with that data, but ultimately it’s obsfucation - you could make it hard to parse and obscure details, but ultimately if you want decentralized federation you can’t hide too much
Your Lemmy posts are already being scraped for AI

That’s what I figured, but I am envisioning a future where lemmy is huge and the network of admins is quite sizable.
I guess that doesn’t change much?
Lemmy is way less privacy oriented than reddit and that’s by design.
