    Since multiple Lemmy instances show the same, federated, content, I wonder if our posts will have more weight in the model, for a normal scraper it would be as if many people repeated the same thing over and over on different sites.

      It would be trivial to remove duplicates. With a little bit of foresight they could just as easily avoid the duplicates in the first place.

        They could also avoid to re-crawl the whole internet every day, but here we are, so who knows.
