I know what the Creative Commons is but not this new thing or why it keeps popping up in comments on Lemmy

      It says nothing, so you have copyright on it.

      Adding a restrictive license to it only means as much as you’re willing and able to police it yourself and take others to court and argue that they can not assume the same freedom of use of your comments that they can with the rest of the site.

      As an individual, for comments of two sentences each, this is not an option.

        As an individual, for comments of two sentences each, this is not an option.

        My content is usually more than a sentence or two.

        Also, it puts a stake in the ground for any future enforcement done by others than myself if laws change.

        Its a low-hanging-fruit way of protecting my content. If it works, great, and if it doesn’t, then I’ll vote for someone else for Congress the next time.

        I’ve wasted more time replying on this single conversation/post than I have copy/pasting the link in all of my comments so far.

          Appreciate your thoughts and responses!

          Though we disagree on the effectiveness, I am all in favour of what you are pushing towards.
