At least Lemmy data is public for anyone to read. I don't care that much if random groups are sucking up all this data for themselves - it's worth it in my opinion because it means good actors can use it for good too. If it were all going to one company, I would be less happy about the fact that they could just black hole it all for nobody's benefit but their own.
