It seems there is a big bet on the value of “human to human” interactions on Reddit. Certainly that makes federated communities easy treasure to pirate? Does anything stop bots from web scraping/data-mining everything we say? I often think about contributing to PeerTube instead of Google YouTube but I feel like my content would be scraped by even more nefarious services quite quickly. Edit: Thanks for the feedback. Makes sense. Double edged sword of the internet. Still makes me hesitate to contribute.


ye except that depending on how paranoid are you this also means that all personal/small instances will be always suspicious and most of popular instances allow lots of that by default
