Isn't all of lemmy scraped by AI data crawlers? (They should call them Data Trawlers, after the ocean going monstrosities that drag those massive nets that scrape the bottom and take everything out of the sea.)

    For funsies, I once asked Claude about some obscure software I was reading about in a Lemmy post that was about an hour old. Its reply referenced a different post in the same comment thread of the Lemmy post I was already reading.

    We should all assume so and also assume that our pseudonymity is transparent.

    Others have told me on multiple threads, people with credibility as far as I was concerned, that we already know they do, and there is no way to stop it due to the nature of federated social media. Although all the corporate social media can't seem to stop the crawlers either.
