I know what the Creative Commons is but not this new thing or why it keeps popping up in comments on Lemmy

    On a tangent subject, why does everyone push back so forcefully, why do they care so incredibly, why do they enforce group think on you, just for including a link for an open source license in your comments?

    I truly don’t get the level of fevor, especially when they could just block the user if they don’t want to see the license link.

    But even more so, why does it trigger people so, why just having that link brings out the worse in people?

    Are people trying to format the Internet so they see it exactly how they personally want to see it?

    I truly don’t understand why we’re wasting so much time discussing this.

    Is it really just the AI modeling companies that are forcefully trying to keep this from becoming a thing, by astroturfing, because then they really would have to start honoring the license if everyone did it, and if they get caught not doing so fearing the political/marketing and legal ramifications of such?

      Because it’s stupid and pointless, and I will assume that anyone who adds it to their comments is as well.

      To clarify, I’m not anti-open source license. I’m also not anti-tin foil hats. Please feel free to wear them if you want. I completely support your right to do so, but it’s also my right to judge you and laugh behind your back.

        Look at your response to me, its rude, in a ‘killing the messenger’ sort of way. Why not just let it go by without attacking someone to their (virtual) face (not ‘behind’) for doing it?

        Why does it trigger you so? Its just a link.

        I thought Lemmy was supposed to be better than Reddit.

          Sorry, I was actually trying to be as polite as possible, and despite what you might think, I don’t care. At all. Not enough to downvote your comments, nor enough to comment about it in another unrelated conversation.

          You asked a question and I thought you honestly wanted an answer as to why you got so much hate for it.

          I like to use emojis. Some people don’t respect that, and they have every right to think less of me because of it. It doesn’t mean that I’m anything that they think I am, and I can choose whether or not I care about what they think. I can stop using emojis to appease them, or I can 🤷🏻‍♂️🖕🏻😂.

      Because you are effectively spreading misinformation.

      Your behaviour leads people to believe that in order for their comments not to be used for commercial AI training they need to have a signature. But that isn’t true, at most the signature is allowing more uses of your comment, not restricting anything.

      People already struggle to understand copyright. Adding more confusion is doing everyone reading your license a disservice.

        Are you a lawyer?

        Including a link to a Creative Commons license in a comment footer will not do that.

          I am not. Are you?

          Including a link to a Creative Commons license in a comment footer will not do that.

          It is when you give it a different name which doesn’t reflect the actual behaviour of the license.

            That’s not a different name. It’s a sentence that’s a layman’s description of my intention for including it.

            Initially I was just using the actual Creative Commons license name, but it was confusing people just seeing letters and numbers.

            which doesn’t reflect the actual behaviour of the license.
