I think they mean turning off the ability to submit non-text posts entirely. It’s much better that a user can’t do something that isn’t allowed than to have a bot fix up the situation after the fact.

I’m trying Connect on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect

Seems pretty similar to Relay. Not totally polished yet but on the way.

As I understand it they can’t see anything from communities that don’t federate with them, but they can see your activity on communities that do. So if you don’t want them to have any data on you, you’d have to be careful to only interact with content on instances that block federation with Meta.

That said they could scrape content from instances that don’t federate with them but I think that would be legally sketchy since holding that data could violate GDPR and reposting it could be considered copyright infringement.

I’m not sure there’s much of a legal framework for feddiverse content since it’s relatively small and non-profit AFAIK. I think it would make sense for instances to have clear terms of use. They could state that you licence them to serve up your content and send it to federated instances, but not allow them to monetise it beyond raising reasonable hosting and development fees.

Dunno, I don’t know anything about how licensing works.

Yeah, same.

This is the way Wikipedia works though. Everything contributed there is automatically CC-BY-SA and GFDL (bar some older stuff). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights

I think an instance could have that as part of its sign-up and community rules; that the content submitted is CC-NC licensed. Anyone using that data for a commercial purpose would be infringing our copyright since they are not complying with the license terms.

Make sure it doesn’t go from suck to blow!

They didn’t put a /s at the end, so that can’t be it.

In fact, forget the Internet.

I like that I can swipe to back out of a post now. I was thinking it would be good to do so like Relay used to, a few days later that’s exactly how it works.
