      Yeah I’ve always found it weird, like anyone’s going to actually listen to that if they’re scraping it for content

            No it wouldn’t have.

            Licensing isn’t 1 sided. You have to have both parties AGREE to the license.

            In this case it’s just text on each message.

            The reason OpenAI was able to scrape the internet largely consequence free is because they never agreed to the ToS of the websites, thus they are not bound by those terms.

            I agree that it isn’t right or morally correct, but legally it’s okay.

            Additionally, by signing up to Lemmy, they grant certain rights and privileges to their instance and others due to agreeing to the license.

            In fact, lemmy could make it easier for scrapers, as lemmy will happily deliver content to your instance, simplifying scraping.

        Are you adding it manually or is your client adding it automatically? If the latter, what client are you using?
