Exactly because we made the mistake once, in more naive times, we don't want to make it again...
No one seems to have any problem with some of the extreme anti-human ideologies that a lot of social media ceos have.
That's patently untrue

I mean I like the lemmy-verse, but the main devs behind Lemmy are totally tankies. It's the reason why a lot of people are hesitant in joining
This is the main developer (one of the only two developers) - if the avatar wasn't enough, have a look at the "essays" repo in his account... https://github.com/dessalines
Interesting. Do you have a link to the specifics of the law you are talking about?
"Merely" - the TOS basically grant Reddit the ability to do what the hell they want with it, LOL

They could have, probably / maybe, but they are quite inept. What is social media if not a giant dataset?!?
Depends on the TnCs
IF the owners of the data agree, or, if they disagree, until they take you to court. Getty Images are taking the creators of Dall-E to court, an some tech company is taking MS to court for Copilot
Yeah, one of the other answers to the AMA was "we are not profitable yet, unlike the 3rd part app devs..." - that is something that wouldn't sit well with any investor I know
China and Russia will no doubt gladly help
I am pretty sure they've been running r/soccer for a while now, to protect Reddit Inc from being taken to court by the super litigious football authorities
It seems pretty obvious that they are trying to push out 3rd party apps, just like all the other platforms are doing. I understand why the devs are fuming, but I don't particularly care TBH. Besides the fact that we don't know what those devs are doing with our location + sensor data they are constantly collecting, they were always running on borrowed time. They made their money, now it's time to pivot to something else, like any other business.
No worries ๐
