And the license means fuck all on any public website where you waive your right to privacy by using. Esp by federating across other websites, where rules are different across every place it's federated to.
So, expecting to apply a CC license to comments made publicly, is like expecting to not be recorded or photographed when in a public place.
And nice try on the zoomer comment, but way wrong. People trying to license their comments has happened for quite a while and it's always been shown as not binding. Trying to impose your licensing on a public website is laughable.
Also, the 1st amendment has nothing to do with what you can or can't say to a private person. So, please don't speak and try to compare things you obviously don't understand.
You mean, how you waive your rights to what you post on a website? That makes them public domain.
Just automatically lowers the value of what you say when it has no bearing on anything.
Why do boomers put a license link on public comments where the license has no value? I'd recommend removing it since having it automatically makes your opinions worth less.
From the notices section
You do not have to comply with the license for elements of the material in the public domain
Which means comments posted anywhere.
One comment says this
For whoever sees this, the story is about the Nashville shooter's manifesto being released. That info should get you to the story.
At the bottom of the webpage for each instance is a link that says "Instances" If you click on that it shows all of the instances that are federated first. Then below that is the list of blocked instances. Easiest way to look is by doing "ctrl + f" and searching for "blocked" and that will normally get you to that list the fastest.
You can see this list whether you are a member or not of that instance. You just need to make sure you go to the actual instance and are not viewing it from your "home" instance account.
Guess what? It's managed for you here. And everywhere. Every place defederates with some other place. The only way to have what you want is to run your own instance and never defederate.
the 70+ instances that are blocked just magically showed up after you "checked"?
Comments like this around make me chuckle. Especially if you look and see the list of blocked instances already from a place where people try to claim they don't want a place that defederates.
Pretty certain every single instance defederates with some other instance. So if you really don't want to defederate, then you'd have to make your own instance and never defederate from any other place.
For now I blocked the /c/random@kbin.social because I was sick of it. I originally added kbin.social to my ublock origin filter list. But then I'd get whole pages of blank lines from so much spam.
I deleted Facebook almost a decade ago. And I don't miss it at all. I got everyone I talk to regularly to switch to signal. It's helpful to have something that works across all devices and can send high quality pics and vids to groups of people on different types of devices.
Working on setting up matrix and hoping to make it easy enough for my close family and friends to switch over since I know I won't be taking away any features. Self hosting has been a fun thing to figure out. And I like not having any ties to any corp. for my messaging.
