MODERATORS
If by algorithms you mean things like GPT, all data on the fediverse is effectively public and arguably even easier to be collected than the likes of reddit, and is almost definitely going to be used to train models whenever or not the fediverse federates with threads.
There's still significance in defederating though, specially when it comes to preventing "Embrace, extend, and extinguish"
Being publicly viewable doesn't make it public domain. We each maintain our copyright. Our posts are our personal intellectual property.
We can't stop them from using them, but that doesn't make them theirs, and it doesn't mean we should just hand them over freely.
If they're going to use them, they can at least make the effort to take them.
