Why would they need to scrape fediverse when they can just get all of the data and more just through federation? Also this anti-scraping stance for a public, transparent protocol is really weird - that's the whole point of the protocol.

Complaining that data available on the public internet is being read seems very strange. Whatever happened to "Information wants to be free" or "The Net Interprets Censorship As Damage and Routes Around It."

Yes, obviously. More people should scrape and archive the Fediverse.

Any data that is put on the public internet WILL be scraped and used for LLM training.

Either that or, to continue building the shadow profiles we know they build, and to gain intelligence on their enemies and possible enemies of the current admin
