I tried to get a statement from pixelfed when it came to AI and content scraping but there has not been any replies yet.

How creating an account in yet another centralized social media app is going to solve things? Policy might be anti AI now, but what happens if Cara get's sold and the new company decides to change it? Don't get me wrong is good that options are popping out to give some fair market share to Meta, but how is Cara sustainable in the long run?

Personally is due to the toxicity of their dev and socials team, basically if you ask something, you are wrong and they are right, if you recommend other options, you are wrong and they are right. They have been publicly raging war against cybersecurity content creators that dare question some decisions or do honest reviews (OS Is good but has it's but scenarios) ... Once they get better with their PR relationships most of the hate will go away.

I'm sure they have a backup somewhere that they will use to train the AI, but agreed, it is time to leave reddit for good.
