I don't like reddit... But here's my question though, since lemmy is federated and all that data is available for access... what's stopping anyone to integrate into the system, collect it all, analyze it and sell it?

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Good thing it's anonymized as fuck and lemmy does not have an official app that tracks it either. Scraping isn't cheap and the upside is basically nothing.

I left reddit in the big exodus and a few day ago I started deleting my messages. I've been a prolific (average of 10-20 comments per day) commenter for 13 years , and deleting apparently still hasn't finished.
Fuck spez, fuck all of them, I'm not leaving my content for them
Reddit is shit and not being able to opt out of being tracked is shit but honestly if you can choose to block gambling ads etc that's actually pretty good
nice lol. more people will come to the fediverse!!
This was the final push I needed to make a formal break and delete my account after 9 years.
Thank god I left early
Wonderful
Penultimate, not ultimate.
The final nail will be when they kill old.nazidigg
Just installed Boost for Lemmy. I'm populating the communities now. This will take time but it looks good from here!
