Long Live Lemmy
Brilliant, A.I does the heavy lifting takes data for free then resells access to it while us who contributed for the last decade don’t get a dime.
Those contributing to it are forced to view ads or pay money for the right to contribute without having ads forced upon them.
Well, they already made it very clear to everyone back in May that the content created by the community does not belong to the community. Anyone still using that dump deserves to be explored.
Here comes a new wave of users, I guess
Kinda thought they’d manage to go a bit longer than the few months they did
What’s the best method to mass edit my comments?
Look at the issues and you will notice it only works on comments visible from the profile page and that not all are visible. It appears that someone made a python script to solve this problem but that you need an API key to use it.
Is Lemmy protected of scraping our data for AI?
The opposite; the API to simply take comments and posts in bulk is free and open.
Can an instance close the API or limit it?
In theory, yes, but instances don’t ship with the ability to do that. There would need to be a change to the Lemmy code base if such a thing was to be seriously implemented.
I’m no federation expert, so I can’t really comment on whether doing something like requiring API keys would be feasible, unfortunately.
Time to delete my old accounts, I guess. Is there a bit that will go through and delete all posts and comments too? That would be helpful.
I used PowerDeleteSuite back in June.
It’s private and not paid like Redact. I’d consider editing the comments instead of deleting them to spread the word/reason of deletion.
deleted by creator
Glad I edited all my comments to say fuck u/spez
