    It might seem silly to most but all it takes for something to become real is for the public to demand it. And if those in power won’t help, oust them.

    At least this person demands something novel and positive for the user. What is fiction today can become reality tomorrow.

    Seems harmless at worst and positive at best.

        I mean the appropriate way to do that

        Is there some Lemmy rule somewhere that I don’t know about that says I can’t attach a Creative Commons license to my comments?

        It’s pretty much just a flag in the robots.txt

        Because everyone knows that’s always honored and obeyed, right?

        Also, it’s a proprietary flag created by Google and only used by Google (per the article you linked).

        So if you want to actually make a difference, lobby your Lemmy instance to add this flag.

        Or do both.

        Because users are the final owners of their own content, their own comments. Not Lemmy, not anyone else. They have the first responsibility of protecting their rights.

          Oof yeah that was not the correct word at all. It would have been better to say effective.

          You’re always free to do what you want of course!

            You sure about that? 😇

            The vibe I’m getting from you is kind of the opposite, as you’re the third person to give me a major hassle about them just within the 24-hour period.

            I honestly wasn’t expecting the level of Spanish Inquisition that I’ve gotten over using them, it’s really fascinating actually. /queueMontyPython

            Anyway, I would love to stop talking about this and derailing what the thread was actually supposed to be about.
