"Reddit has given access to YOUR conversations and posts to AI companies.". FTFY

These were created by people, for peoole, and I will ALWAYS disagree that this data is Reddit's or any other platforms.

Don't forget your direct messages aren't end to end encrypted on Reddit, so now AI will be trained on your craziest "private" conversations

There's one good news. Reddit didn't want to pay to move all the old DMs to the new chat infrastructure. So they deleted them.

Pretty sure they just didn't migrate to the new data structure and didn't actually delete the raw data. They're effectively deleted for users but not for Reddit.

I have no idea what horrible thing this will do to an LLM but I'm kind of curious.

Well to be fair, everything you post and comment on Lemmy can be used in the exact same way

Oh no, all the times I sent or received dodo codes from randos so we could trade animal crossing items. Whatever shall I do?

Edit: I'm gonna leave this here for people to use as a resource against Reddit because it may be worth it to do something actionable.
