apparently live streaming on PeerTube is possible, maybe someone could redirect the stream there

should have seen it coming when he said saucy

$5B is just a slap on the wrist for a $1.66T market cap company

Another one:

Thoughts on the absence of clear license terms regarding content contributed to the Fediverse? For instance, questions and answers on Stack Exchange communities are CC-BY-SA. It would probably be necessary to have this discussion as 1- LLM companies are probably looking at the Fediverse with dollar signs in their eyes and will soon be incentivized to abuse the servers with content scrapers and 2- soon bad instances (and currently already the case with certain apps) will try to monetize content that’s being contributed on the Fediverse using ads.

I just find it weird that we never had this discussion around what use of our content is allowed and what is not allowed, and that without my consent someone is going to make money from ads displayed alongside my threads/comments. For big tech you at least have to agree to their terms of service where you give them that consent.

What’s your opinion on app developers making Lemmy clients with tracker-infused ads on their free version? Is it something you ever anticipated when you were first developing Lemmy?

EDIT: Also a similar one, what about instances potentially deciding to display ads out of nowhere? Could defederation be a tool here to discourage that?

Well my personal take is that it’s his instance and if he wants to restrict non-commie stuff here well that’s bad but ultimately it’s his instance and it’s why I only have an alt on this instance for emergencies, I can’t align with commie beliefs. The software is open-source and independent of his beliefs and that’s what matters and I also respect him for the work he did.

Imagine paying a subscription just to be eligible for ad revenue coming from impressions of your own content. Literal cucks.

there need to be rules to avoid it turning into name-calling and concern trolling around your communism

looks like someone is doing DDOS attacks at exactly the same hour of the day, it’s down again now

It’s mostly DDOS attacks though, not the influx of normal users.
