Ive seen that pixelfed and peertube have the ability to add a licence to content. I think this would be great for everyone so we can get ahead of threads and have collective bargaining power when they inevitable put our content between ads.
Heres the pixelfed duscyssion on the issue: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/13 Here is mastadons discussion: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20079
Im not sure if lemmy has a discussion yet i may create one later if one doesnt already exist.
You can’t wait on “god” to solve your problems. Licensing should be handled instance wide to prevent co.panies from freely stealing content.
i dont have a problem with licensing on my instance, so this solves for a problem i do not have.
my instance publicly federates, so i dont have an expectation that the federating instances wont use the federated content for whatever the fuck they want
stealing federated content? thats the dumbest thing ive heard today.
