I think that you should keep posting with your signature if it makes you happy. I have some sincere doubts it will force a corporation to exclude your content from any aggregated data, though, nor do I think anyone is giving up their rights by not properly licensing their comments here. Copyright is automatic in the USA. The problem isn’t the licensing, its the fact that no court is properly enforcing these rights. And, too few governments have data privacy laws on the books.
I’m not interested in relitigating those points though, I’m sure you’ve heard them. I guess I’m just typing that up so you know where I’m coming from.
I do think your signature is valuable when it makes people consider who owns their data, and why the CC license is important.
Personally I think you should put an explanation in your bio. I think your message will be served better if you can point to a pre-written explanation (or even an old style FAQ). But, I don’t think you’re obligated to do so. Its all gravy. People are going to fight you regardless.
Did you see that post from that guy mad about a period character on slashdot? Lmao
Actually I have the CC license info/link in my bio as well.
If people ask me with honest intent I would be responding in kind and explain it, gladly. But that is not been my experience here on Lemmy.
So I don’t know why I should put myself through that kind of trolling from others, again, again, and again, under the guise of trying to educate someone on what a CC license is, who most likely already knows, or by a bot starting a brigade cycle.
I know that’s a cynical view, and I hate stating what I just did, but I feel that I truly earned the right to that cynical opinion, as that’s what the vast majority of my experiences have been here on the Lemmy, both ten months ago, as well as currently.
The irony is that if someone just clicks on the link in my footer it’ll take them to a page of the license that also explains what the Creative Commons license is, so they really don’t need me to explain it, they could just click on the link I’ve already supplied.
I do appreciate your kind words and civil discussion, and suggestions, thank you for that, sincerely.
