  What would you do if you found out I’ve been copying all your comments for the past week, changing them slightly, and then selling them to a certain company without giving you any credit whatssoever?

    What would you do if you found out I’ve been copying all your comments for the past week, changing them slightly, and then reposted them on a certain website without giving you any credit whatssoever?

    It’s so weird how some people get so bent out of shape over this.

    At the end of the day, its just a fucking link.

      Because it’s embarrassing, there’s enough cringe here as it is how am I supposed to say to people ‘hey come and try out lemmy’ when they’re gong to see this sovcit Facebook mom stuff?

        Because it’s embarrassing,

        I do what’s right, and not what may or may not embarrass me.

        I’m actually embarrassed that someone else would suggest not using a Creative Commons license to its full capability.

        there’s enough cringe here as it is

        Cringe is in the eye of the beholder.

        how am I supposed to say to people ‘hey come and try out lemmy’ when they’re gong to see this sovcit Facebook mom stuff?

        Just explain to them that Lemmy is a friendly and open place, where all different types of people with different opinions and ways of thinking can converse with each other freely without fear of being harrased/insulted.

        They’re going to read comments shilling for corpos, excusing China/Russia/Israel’s human rights violations… and a link at the end of someone’s comments is what you’re worried about?

      So the answer is nothing. You would do nothing.

      So what’s the point of the “fucking link”?

        And what’s the point of your comment, apart for trying to spark a controversy out of nowhere?

        I’ve already stated elsewhere in this conversation what I would do. And also I don’t agree with your interpretation of what I said.

    Why are you so intent on giving them s**t about their licensing of their comments?
    They cause harm to no one, they feel better because doing so is relevant to them.

    I might be wrong, but your question seems asked in bad faith: I am under tbe impression that most people on lemmy servers have at least a basic understanding of the privacy and copyright infringements of the training of AI models.

    Their will to license their comment probably has little to do with the very unlikely individual actions you describe and more to do with data licensing from big corporate entities.
