Yet another approach on Threads (Jerry Bell) (infosec.exchange)

I continue to be squeezed by both sides of the threads situation. I am operating on the premise that people who think I’m a terrible person and this is a terrible instance for allowing any interaction with threads have left and/or blocked, those remaining seem to want to either have nothing to do with threads at all and are mainly concerned with their data, and those who want to seamlessly interact with threads. I have threads limited/silenced on Infosec.exchange, but that isn’t seamless, and it’s also not fully blocking. So, here’s my proposal: I remove the limit from threads, and run a job to domain block threads for each account. Any account who chooses can undo the block (or ask me to do it) and then they can seamlessly interact with threads, and those who want nothing to do with them get their way.

I can't find anything like what you're describing - my instance has a legal notice which is just a disclaimer saying they can't be held liable, lemmy.world has a fair use and terms of service which are 404s and their privacy policy just says they won't sell your data (but might use it for internal research) - can you tell me what you mean?

Well, if they don't have a ToS clause for that, then technically they are violating your copyright by sharing your contributions with other instances.

Most commercial services force users to completely sign over the legal rights for their contributions to the service.

On the Lemmy instance I am on the ToS clearly states that people agree to have their original contributions licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 or later license, which allows redistribution if certain terms are fulfilled.
