Just a topic to chat about.
I think -- copyright should apply to humans only and be non-transferable from the original artist except in cases of death. Grant copyright to individuals or joint copyright with groups with fractional right for 7 years if the work is distributed, 1 year if not. Legal entities cannot own any copyright at all.
Makes me wish I wasn't so quick to delete my account.
What a sick fuck! A little money for lives huh?
IMO this and the abortion stuff is about driving blue voters out of state so that Republicans can retake the senate. The senate is a body designed for minority control and they know they'll never again have the majority.
The fediverse is the real internet, it's not a company providing a service. On the real internet, once something gets out there, there can never be a guarantee that it's taken back. Even on Reddit, once you post something, Reddit might fully delete it but someone out there may have copied it.
I sure hope there's a large group of servers that refuse to federate with servers run for profit. I didn't come to be a product and be manipulated with algorithms.
I will remove myself from any servers that federate with Meta.
Awesome! I wish them success!
That's funny, I'm testing YouTube alternatives.
It's way better participating. I lurked on Reddit and things like it for years before I got the courage to speak up. I was so afraid of saying the wrong thing. Eventually I realized I'm not nearly the dumbest one, who cares lol.
This is where my mind goes. Kinda convenient that Twitter and Reddit, both likely particularly dangerous to those seeking power happen to be destroyed seemingly intentionally in the same year ahead of a sure to be insane U.S. election season.
No corporation can ever be trusted, they exist to exploit you.
