      That license does nothing.

      Your comments aren’t licensed because you put something in them. It’s stopping nothing. Licensing is an agreement, and requires parties to consent. You don’t just magically force licenses onto people.

      If this was real I could license my comments where if you read them, you owe me 10k.

      This is the digital equivalent of sovereign citizens.

        I don’t think it’s equivalent to sovereign citizens. OP is the author of their comment and therefore has the copyrights. As the author one can license their work as all rights reserved or other permissive licenses.

        OP chooses to license their work as Creative Commons.

        They’re not forcing you to accept the license, it’s your local government that enforces copyright.

        The reason why this might work on Lemmy but not on corporate Social media is that corporate social media often have terms of service that require you to give them ownership/rights/etc. Lemmy has no such ToC.

          In case you want your license declaration to look the same as mine (instead of just being a quote), you can copy and paste in the following text …

          I am getting annoyed on your behalf lol. Why do people feel the need to screech at others doing something harmless when they could just shut up and ignore it is beyond me. Not a fair comparison but it does feel like republicans shouting at trans people.

            I feel like it somehow relates to Cunningham’s Law but i can’t figure out how to articulate it.

            Thanks, appreciate the support!

            It’s amazing how bent out of shape some people get about this, both currently, as well as about tenish months ago when I last was on Lemmy (check out my comment history from that time period if you really want to get annoyed).

            I got to imagine that its people who want to farm the comments for their LLMs training, that are trying to prevent the popular usage of people licensing their content.

        You’re probably the only one, but thank you for saying that. 🙂

          Does the lack of licensing in this comment mean it’s okay to steal?

            Nope, the opposite: in the absence of an explicit license, the default is “all rights reserved.”

            I don’t think just thanking someone is real content. /shrug

            (Edit: I also declare all that I post/comment is licensed by me as well, in my user account description area.)

            But answering someone who thinks they are being funny or annoying, by explaining things to them, would be considered content by me.

              I kind of suspected it might be something like that, but it was a genuine query that, yes, was intended to be mildly humorous. I don’t intentionally annoy except maybe my wife.

              Your indirect accusation made me smirk, but as far as I’ve noticed you’re the only one who does this without doing it on every comment, which seemed interesting enough to observe.

                  Ah. Well, I have questions or comments I could make about the license. However, while I feel passionately about Unix and Linux and OSS in general, I don’t think I have anything useful or interesting to add to the thread that hasn’t already been said.

                  I wish you luck both with finding engaging conversation and with your licensing.

                    A little passive-aggressive of you 😜 but I’m betting you could find answers to your questions if you looked through my comment history, starting about 10ish months ago. There was ALLOT of conversation about it at that time. You’d probably also see the kind of comments you’d make already made as well, saving you some time.

                    However, while I feel passionately about Unix and Linux and OSS in general, I don’t think I have anything useful or interesting to add to the thread that hasn’t already been said.

                    That’s fine, I didn’t mean to suggest that you personally (vs others) had to comment on the subject at hand, just that I wish I would only have to respond to comments of the subject at hand.

                    I wish you luck both with finding engaging conversation and with your licensing.

                    And may you have a GREAT day today!

        You are not new to lemmy, it says you registered a year ago, but is this the first time you meet a comment with license info? You are one of today’s lucky 10000.

        I’ve seen this on multiple users, usually it’s some anti ai license. Like the laws stopped facebook from torrenting copyrighted books, an anti ai license will stop the next ai startup scraping the fediverse.

          I’m only aware of myself, and the one other person who I learned to do this from, on Lemmy. That was tenish months ago, but still.

          I haven’t seen anyone else, even the other person I mentioned previously, since having returned to Lemmy recently.

          Be nice if you were right, but I haven’t seen it really.
