Not that reddit isn't hot garbage right now, and has been for a while actually, but there's a lot of people here who have glazed over the reason why reddit instituted this policy.

AI companies are scraping the Wayback Machine. This is something that should concern all of us.

If you can't archive something, did it ever really exist?

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

In a causal sense, yes. In a 'the average person is fucking stupid' sense, no.

Reddit warned my account ( first warn in 10 years ) and deleted the comment when I told a American he can strike peacefully to show the government they are against it.

I got a warn for recommending violence by an ai , the human that checked it agreed and didn't remove the warn haha.

Reddit is just feared that their censorship goes public.

I was on Reddit for like 15 years, then got all my warnings and a ban in like a month or two earlier this year. Oh well, lol.

I just replied “Liar, or fucking liar.” To every republican lie I saw. Only took 2 days for a permaban. I feel if they can lie we should be able to call them out on it at least.

AI can scrape books and journals for info, but can't scrape Reddit?

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Reddit can be scraped just as much as online books and journals.

You use it too scratch your butt I think.
