It should be pretty obvious that a decentralized network that many use specifically to not be connected to centralized networks houses mostly people who do not wish to have their posts bridged to B...
Reading through that thread, it highlights why I object to blue-sky stuff being posted in Fediverse areas like they’re one in the same and have the same values. The fact that someone is stealing content to prop up blue-sky is egregious. That this is being defended is baffling.
The reality is that a bunch of the content creators are here rather than on a centralised billionaire/VC backed platform. Surely if those content creators wanted their content on BlueSky they would post there. I know for example that I personally declined invitations, so why would I want my toots and Lemmy posts there?
I’m not a fan of Bluesky, but to call it “centralized billionaire backed platform” makes no sense anymore. They are opening for federation already, and Jack Dorsey is now just shilling Bitcoin on Nostr.

Calling it “stealing content” is loaded terminology. You’re posting content on an open protocol whose very purpose is to broadcast it far and wide.
Yeah, I’d argue that using such loaded terminology to imply incorrect things is the real moral violation here

You signed up for federation when you joined lemmy and mastodon. Your posts federating to other servers should not be a surprise.
To ActivityPub services. BlueSky doesn’t support the protocol
Not true. You’re pushing content to Diaspora, hubzilla, PubCrawl, Streams and many other protocols that are bridged to ActivityPub
I’m posting on a protocol whose purpose is to post content to other platforms that use the same protocol.
Your posts are awfully public, given that goal. I mean, anybody can freely access them and use programs to copy them for any use they desire.
Isn’t this the same logic used to justify using our posts to train large language models?
