Why is this taking off but not Mastadon?

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.

But did they pinky promise?

… for now

It’s open to the public. So, many other orgs are certainly doing it anyway.

Lol okay. Sounds good, bro.

Won’t train AI on your posts until we reach critical mass of users.

Sure.

Trust me bro, just keep shit posing on here, we won’t change out “ToS”

LMAO

BlueskAI on the other hand…

Better BlueSky than Twitter, but I hope everyone understands by now that there’s literally no reason to take a business’s word for anything unless they somehow have legally obligated themselves to doing that thing forever. Otherwise you can only trust them to keep doing it for as long as it’s worth it from an economic perspective. I’m not saying that it can’t ever happen that a business acts out of pure goodwill, but only a fool would count on it.
