Of course! Yeah, this post was intended to be less of a proposal and more of a brainstorm session. Maybe licenses aren’t the way to go about this, or we create our own licenses to be compatible with ActivityPub and match Lemmy’s values? Maybe it doesn’t matter how our content is used, or there’s nothing we can do?

You might be right, I definitely see your point. ActivityPub adds a whole new layer to this too. In the end though, isn’t the content we post no different than anything else published on the Internet? I guess it’s important to note that technically nothing public can be 100% prevented from being used in unwanted ways. However, there might be other ways (legally, socially, etc.) we could discourage it.
Regardless, I’d love to get a better sense of how much this matters to us here on Lemmy—or if it should even matter in the first place
!lemmynade@lemm.ee has this
I’ve been annoyed by this too. Here’s the issue on GitHub for discussion, I doubt anyone will have any objections but it still might be a little while until it’s implemented
These are some really good thoughts and topics to discuss at this stage in the Fediverse. We must be looking big-picture right now as we move forward. Thanks for pushing the envelope!
What has been the most rewarding part of working on Lemmy for you guys?
As developers, what can we do (or not do) to best support Lemmy’s vision and goals right now?
I found this on the web for, “no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no”
We can’t force people to join, but we can emphasize the negatives of Reddit and the ways Lemmy solves those. Things like:
- Lemmy does not collect personal data and share it with third parties like Reddit does
- Lemmy does not violate your privacy with tracking or ads like Reddit does
- Lemmy’s code and algorithms can be viewed and reviewed by anyone at any time as-is, unlike Reddit
- Lemmy is 100% self-funded and moderated by its own users across the world. Reddit and your data is governed by a single money-driven corporation with controversial leadership
People that value those things are the ones that will consider moving over. You might say that you’ve read over Reddit’s terms and conditions, and then present the Lemmy community as a private and safe alternative if anyone wishes to join?
Happy new year, and thanks for continuing to post these!
EasyPanel is a hidden gem. Caprover feels very robust and the main dev is really friendly. Coolify is still under development but looks very promising.
I use Caprover mostly since it supports managing multiple servers through Docker Swarm, otherwise I’d probably be using EasyPanel.
