If you’re ok with your data being used, maybe there’s a way to opt into that. But I would rather it be something data trawlers had to forcibly ask first rather than just stealing it and then saying “oopsies”
Personally I’ll support instances that choose to tell Zuckybags to fuck right off, and I think the fediverse is pretty well set up to be able to do that.
But I guess the bigger question how is how we protect our information, since it seems like everything that happens here is pretty wide open.
The big companies will all come for places like this and trawl for “genuine human input” to feed their AI cashbabies, and what we create has value. Maybe even the shitposts. So how do we protect that?
Wow, there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time, I think that just unlocked a core memory for me. While I didn’t use del.icio.us heavily, I did feel like there was something super useful about it. In a way it felt way more web 2.0 than Facebook ever did, a true utility.
I’m digging the Gunns, it’s been cool to see them come into their own over the last few months.
I love Willow Nightingale too!
