Can I get that written in a contract?
For now
…at the moment
Yeah, I remember when Reddit promised similar things…
…for now.
“Bluesky has not been offered enough money to scrape user data for AI”

The API is so cheap someone is going to do it anyways…
That’s my biggest issue with AI. Now all the APIs want me to pay to use them. Originally the API was an incentive to get engineers to build features for their sites without having to pay them. The engineers get data they need to build their thing and the company providing the API gets free product features and user acquisition. It was mostly a fair trade. Now the companies see a few other companies using that data to train API and make a fortune so their reaction is to charge a fortune for the API. Totally disregarding the previous arrangement. If you are an engineer working on something unrelated to AI you are basically shut down from using any APIs that provide useful data. Everything is locked down now when it once was open. It’s so sad. It makes learning more restrictive
To be fair, “they” could probably train AI on Lemmy data, they just won’t ask for permission and won’t be charged for it
AI is 100% being trained using Lemmy.
Nah, first you gotta get comfortable for a couple of years.
It’s basically pig butchering for social networks.
They also said it was decentralized which is not true.
I don’t believe this.
well there’s a protocol but everyone is on the main one, i don’t think theres even a non personal instance.
Yeah, I looked into it and the backend is proprietary, so the central owner can restrict features. Like for instance independent instances can only have 10 users.
It’s “decentralised” except only in extremely limited scope, the code is centrally controlled and the network remains largely, functionally centralised.
They’re capitalising on the decentralised, federated buzz while doing it so poorly they’re setting up users to say “oh people tried decentralisation, it doesn’t work, look at Bluesky”.
If it’s not open source, it’s not decentralised.
Bluesky is VC backed. They’ll want to make money down the road, and they’ll definitely train AI soon if not already.
Maybe the VC’s are dying soon and they wanted to do something useful with their exorbitant wealth before they die
Lol
Funny!
Yet
Well, it will train it’s AI on everyone else’s posts. Just not your posts.
I’ve yet to hear a good argument for why it matters even if they did. I’ve made thousands of comments on Lemmy that are free for anyone to grab and do anything they want with. If I didn’t want people to have access to them I wouldn’t be posting on the first place.
If I didn’t want people to have access to them I wouldn’t be posting on the first place.
there’s the catch: it’s for people. not robots, not billionaires
Makes no difference to me.
then you can join twitter and reddit as well
I’ve been on both for over a decade longer than on Lemmy.
Why is this taking off but not Mastadon?
It’s easier to use and has a recommendation algorithm.
How is it easier to use?
Because it has just one instance and choosing an instance is too hard to Twitter users
Bluesky gives you the option to choose an instance, too.
Better marketing
Which marketing and better how, exactly?
Can anyone please point me an example of Bluesky marketing that isn’t word of mouth or large-event headlines on the news?
no, this place only circle jerks about the fediverse blindly and hates anything with a modicum of attachment to reality.
Barrier of entry is marginally lower. With mastodon you’ll have to make a decision on what instance you’re creating your account. With Bluesky there’s just Bluesky.
With bluesky ,the sign up has a section where you choose a server. The bluesky server is prefilled. Otherwise you add your own.
But not having that default option and instead having to have the user go research and figure out which server to use is an immediate turn off.
Mastodon has one big, official node, too, though: joinmastodon.com.
Yep. 100% this.
Bluesky has the hyper casual “barrier’” of entry that Twitter had
But did they pinky promise?
