While I understand the concept of federation I’m unclear as to what it actually entails at a technical level. When lemm.ee eventually shuts down, will all of that user content (posts, comments, votes, etc) cease to exist? Is it mirrored on other instances?
They probably get harvested and sold to some data broker for use in training another shitty ai model.
They don’t need to shut down for that.
They go to postee heaven is a polite way of saying it, but the current instances will forever have a copy, until their domains are seized that is
This isn’t reddit. Thatxs not what we do here.
Not like we can stop it. If it’s online and not behind some kind of auth it’s getting slurped.
Pretty naive to think someone isn’t doing it already, but as someone else said you don’t need to shutdown for it. Infact it is worse if you shut down as you don’t get new data.
