Absolutely shocking that there are some power users and admins in here defending this because they are weirdly hostile to the idea of user privacy on the fediverse.

Are they the firefox/47 48 49, etc, that I see in my nginx logs? (nexus smartphones with the googlebot signature too)

Reminds me of leeches in torrent networks ruining the seeders effort, but this time it is cooperation doing it more publicly, on non-profit instances

People creating anything anywhere are “contributing” (having their work used without permission) to LLM and image generation companies, because these companies don’t actually respect anyone and don’t care about anything except sucking as much money out of you as possible.
