Open source and federation mean open source and federation, I don’t see why it shouldn’t be free and legal to scrape for Lemmy and Mastadon. However maybe the servers could issue rate limits and suspicious block lists so they don’t go down due to scrapes.
What I don’t understand is why Reddit didn’t institute the following: All api requests are free up to 100,000 per month per user token. Also in our terms of service you can not use us to train AI models without paying this fee.
I’m with you on that. AI is the future. Just because xxx big corp is doing AI training for their closed source product doesnt mean that open source models won’t also benefit. If you post to a public space you should expect it to be read.
