  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.

  im not sure why we have to treat threads differently than every other instance that is also using the content for whatever.

  people are literally just so upset that 'meta' is even involved, they want to block them at all costs out of nothing more than spite. that their content '0h noooes my memes are next to ads!' is federated and shown on remote sites, and that site happens to be threads, freaks them the fuck out.

  but there isnt any real reason to be doin all this. its pure corporate hatred. i just wish they would admit that instead of pretending they have an actual, technical reason.

    The problem is that they are thousands times bigger than us. All our voices will be drowned out, in what we all know, is an ad-driven post contest.

    We can whine and cry but their predatory algorithms will just chew on our content and spit it back in, filled with ads, misinformation et al.

    That’s why we dont want to federate with threads/facebook.

  I have no idea if I should add a /s flag here but really, everyone try having fun for fun’s sake. I’m basically an atheist so I was joking when I said “God’s grace” but you can still do things just for fun or to create a little spark of inspiration in the world.

  Dunno where have you been the last year, or the last 55, but those who “never experience God’s grace” still experience all the graces of capitalism and techno-feudalism, which is what currently matters.

    I was joking about the God’s grace thing. I’m not religious.

    I just meant if you make a joke and someone steals it, who cares? There’s always low-life bozos who steal content and repost it with “Who did this, fam? 😭😭😭” If you want to monetize your content, do what I do and dress as a waifu and play Doki Doki Panic for 14 hours a day on Twitch. It ain’t much but it’s honest work. (Except for the Waifu costume.)
