The Fediverse HOA strikes again!
A great community project was shut down because a bunch of assholes can’t stand something new on “their” Fedi.
Here’s my question: where is this outcry when #OpenAI, #Microsoft, and #Google index our posts?
It’s okay when Big Tech does this, but how dare someone make a fun little hobby service!

Public Firehose Project Shutters After Backlash - We DistributeWe Distribute
There is a pretty big outcry on Fedi about those companies training their AIs our posts. Has been for over a year.
So no, people don't like when Big Tech does it, either. Disagreeable though you may find them, they are at least consistent.
