    That’s what I figured, but I am envisioning a future where lemmy is huge and the network of admins is quite sizable.

    I guess that doesn’t change much?

      1. Run Lemmy instance
      2. Gain userbase
      3. Intercept data users are reading and posting from your instance and others
      4. Feed to AI
      5. Profit?

      Lemmy is way less privacy oriented than reddit and that’s by design.

      It’s structural - you can be open or locked down, and it’s hard to decentralize if you’re not open

      You can make it easier or harder to work with that data, but ultimately it’s obsfucation - you could make it hard to parse and obscure details, but ultimately if you want decentralized federation you can’t hide too much
