It already happened without their consent. You've been able to get it to produce "reddit text posts", for years. This is a bit harrowing, though.

So AI models are not farming the federation?

They probably are, but not the personal/private info like chat/DM, upvotes or downvotes, geolocation, etc which I highly suspect Reddit did sell.

Just FYI, your voting is fully public on Lemmy. DMs are “private” but could be intercepted at the server level of any instances involved (yours and the receiver/sender) and of course your geolocation info is visible to the server.

Not saying that is happening, and not trying to spread FUD, but be aware that your info isn’t necessarily private just because a corpo isn’t directly involved.

You are absolutely right, and I think people should be more aware of this.

Me too, maybe then assholes will stop whining about me of downvoting them when I didn't. As if it matters.

One of the original Reddit memes was quite prescient:

I wouldn't be surprised if comments become their intellectual property through some terms of services bullcrap
