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?

What are you wanting to protect? I think you should hold a bit of anonymity overall to where it doesn’t matter a whole lot. The thrill of these platforms are the more anonymous characters willing to share what’s on their mind without huge out-lash/cancelling in my opinion.
you can try and hold on to this ‘light anonymity’ as long as you want, but i feel the longer we all spend in the public fediverse, the easier it will be to piece together our content->id by fingerprinting… should someone decide they really want to do that.
ive kind of taken a more public approach…no, im not blathering my personal info about… but i try not to say or do anything i wouldnt say or do to that person in public on the street in front of my house.
Just change accounts often, don’t build up a big persona fingerprint.
Going against that last part and diving into what’s really on your brain is what I’m saying sets these platforms apart. Aside from the typical bigotry spewing characters that come with it.
