How creating an account in yet another centralized social media app is going to solve things? Policy might be anti AI now, but what happens if Cara get's sold and the new company decides to change it? Don't get me wrong is good that options are popping out to give some fair market share to Meta, but how is Cara sustainable in the long run?
Same thing that happens if a federated instance goes bad: you leave?
A big difference is that, instead of leaving all content behind because it was only hosted there, you still have a lot of content as only a piece of the federated content disappears (or defederates, or paywalls, w/e)
Do people seriously not keep copies of their finished work anymore? They just post them and delete the local copy?
It's not just about the content posted by individuals though. The community and relationships built on a centralized platform are also at risk to a much greater degree than they would be on federated social media.
I agree. But I think this an OK idea, until someone makes this with a FOSS platform, in the fediverse. Choices are good.
If their goal is to prevent AI trainers from scraping their art then an open federated platform is the opposite of what they want.
Noted. I hadn't thought of that
I tried to get a statement from pixelfed when it came to AI and content scraping but there has not been any replies yet.
