Customers own their own Customer Data.
Okay, that's good.
Immediately after that:
Slack [...] will never identify any of our customers or individuals as the source of any of these improvements to any third party, other than to Slack’s affiliates or sub-processors.
You'd hope the owner would get a say in that.
They don't think that.
Nah, there's tons of features that slack has over irc. To start with inline media (images, audio, video), but most importantly lots of out of the box external integrations and webhooks.
Thanks for that clarification. I was afraid it would be that murky.
Not through the API.
I'm not a lawyer. But isn't the reason they had to go to reddit to get permission is because users hand over over ownership to reddit the moment you post. And since there's no such clause on Lemmy, they'd have to ask the actual authors of the comments for permission instead?
Mind you, I understand there's no technical limitation that prevents bots from harvesting the data, I'm talking about the legality. After all, public does not equate public domain.
I think creating a lora for your character would help in that case. Not really easy to do as of yet, but technically possible, so it's mostly a ux problem.
As if their user base has that kind of attention span /s.
Just doing a public service reminder.
Are you? Or did you just think the weird "digital" in the title justifies it being posted here.
