  • I wouldn’t call it selfish. They want tools for more granular control on their instance. That’s perfectly fine. If they limit who can post or comment based on the instance they are from. The other instances are perfectly free to limit their users as well in response or for their own arbitrary reasons.

    There seems to be a distinct lack of controls across lemmy as a whole. The only option for them is all or nothing at the moment.

    I think the big take away is for users to think about what instance they create their accounts and communities on.




  • It’s not their data. If you scrape Reddit for the comments are reposted them somewhere else Reddit wouldn’t be able to come after you with a copyright violation lawsuit.

    Any potential copyright is still owned by the original user with Reddit having a license to sublicense for “syndication, broadcast, distribution, or publication by other companies, organizations, or individuals who partner with Reddit.”

    They would have to come after you with a ToS contract violation or maybe some kind of Computer Fraud and Misuse allegations.
