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.
I think we should just create content for our own joyous reasons and know that people who monetize other people’s content are empty vessels who will never experience God’s grace.
You can’t wait on “god” to solve your problems. Licensing should be handled instance wide to prevent co.panies from freely stealing content.
Can I have some of what you’re smoking?

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.)
