My brain said no, my dick says yes
Fair enough.
CLI is not about ease to begin with, it is about versatility.
Releasing dumps the way you described would be a massive burden on admins, or even completely infeasible.
It adds work but it is actually very easy, the texts and images aren't that big. The burden is eased by more people engage in seeding(hosting) the data.
Can't you already pull the data of an entire instance via the api?
You could ask the host through the api to do that, and that's the same the problem with Reddit. What we have changed here on Lemmy is more instances to choose from, the public knowledge grows with the instance and I wouldn't expect the host to let you access the data for free as the value(communities) grows.
There is real value in the data, way more than ever, bc it is the source for LLM.
Donald Trump or Joe Biden?
It is 1% better, but it is irrelevant.
The instance can blacklist other instances, the data stored by the host doesn't have to be published. There is also no integrity check of what would be the public data.
The host can do anything it wants with the data, unless we scarpe as much data as we can and release it in p2p network.
already public
By the host, that host could be Spez
Data is more valuable than ever, bc it can be used to train AI
I could, but more importantly it is a showerthought
2 downvotes less than a min, you haters better leave an explanation.
It is just fooling yourself, we were all robbed by the time Spez setup the paywall.
Quit Reddit.
don't say that im helping you
