Though Lemmy and Mastodon are public sites, and their structures are open-source I guess? (I’m not a programmer/coder), can they really dodge the ability of AI s to collect/track any data everytime they search everywhere on Internet?

i spose. ive had some great conversations with people in random forums across the internet for 30 years… the platform seems almost irrelevant in my memory, but posts are sticky. everyone knows those things can be hard to remove. i dont think the fediverse will change that.
another option for more easily anonymous, ephemeral, say-anything kinda of environment… check IRC. ticks a lot of those boxes
True, IRC probably birthed most of my feelings in this regard. Formed a tight knit community and learned a lot of personal stuff on there as well though.
