Lol, well it's not immune to either. As soon as anyone thinks Lemmy has ROI, it will be targeted by bots, corporate greed, and scrapers.

But all of our posts are publicly available in the Internet and in my opinion should be fair game for web crawlers, archivists, or whoever wants to use it. That's the free and open Internet.

What's shitty is when companies like reddit decide it's "their" data.
