Ive seen that pixelfed and peertube have the ability to add a licence to content. I think this would be great for everyone so we can get ahead of threads and have collective bargaining power when they inevitable put our content between ads.
Heres the pixelfed duscyssion on the issue: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/13 Here is mastadons discussion: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20079
Im not sure if lemmy has a discussion yet i may create one later if one doesnt already exist.
So, if some indy developer creates an app for the Fediverse and decides to support himself by putting ads in it rather than requiring people to pay for it, he’s hooped?
If they want to make money off my content, they can pay me my share of their profits.
Unfortunately, unless you have a good lawyer, they’re probably just going to ignore you anyway, even if they legally can’t.
yeah, these people are fucking stupid.
I don’t care if its meta or some indy dev my content and my data belong to me and i should have the right to licence it how i feel fit…
