  • Well, scrapers probably would ignore it.

    Maybe, I wouldn’t doubt it, if true. We live in the age of “ask for forgiveness and not permission”. But the law is the law, and forgiveness may cost them some $$$ down the road. At the very least it leaves them exposed vis-a-vis ‘Safe Harbor’ laws-wise, when some other powerful entity wants to go to war with them.

    In either case, I’m not going to give up my rights just because currently laws are not enforced. Like most things with humans, things move back-and-forth throughout time, and what may be overlooked today may be scrutinized thoroughly tomorrow.

    (And for the record, you’re the bazillionish person to tell me that. The repetition is real.)

  • Well like it or not, your footer is just a part of your comments, and so people are invited to respond however they wish when you post it on lemmy.

    That logic doesn’t track though, as that content is just a footer, it is not the actual content of what’s being discussed in the post, which is what people should be responding to.

    It would be the same as if for every comment I made on a subject it opposed people instead started asking me questions about my username, and not discussing the subject of the post.

    If you don’t like people making the same replies, you can simply stop posting the same content in every comment.

    You really shouldn’t be “blaming the victim” on this one.

    Even if what you said previously is true, when a person has been directed to a location where an answer to their question has already been given, and they refuse to do so, but instead continue to badger the person directly, that’s detrimental to the conversation being had (by derailing it), as well as I would argue to Lemmy itself. And if done enough times on purpose could be considered harassment.

    People should not be able to dictate what other people put in their comments, and should definitely not harass them continuously over what they have in their comments.

  • Honestly I don’t believe it would help myself

    It would help if the companies that are training their LLMs honor content creators licenses. If they ignore the law in that, then it would in theory need to be policed.

    In either case, its a quick copy/paste on my part, so /shrug.

    As someone else mentioned, it’s probably people who simply have to correct others when they don’t share the option. Doubt it would be anything like being in support of LLMs, probably the opposite.

    I don’t know. It would behoove those who need our content to train their LLMs to intimidate/redirect people away from licensing their content. And I can’t imagine regular people getting so caught up to spend so much time on this issue. If you look through my comment history, starting 9-10 months ago, and see how many replies I’ve gotten, and even how posts talk about this issue (https://lemmy.world/post/14942506), I can’t imagine a single link would cause all of that. Theres got to be something more to it than that.

  • Ah. Well, I have questions or comments I could make about the license.

    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!
