When you post on Twitter(1) or Bluesky(2) you grant them a broad perpetual license to use, modify, and sublicense your content. You effectively make them co-owners of your content. They can mine it and monetize it. They can even sell it. When you post on Mastodon(3) most instances take no license at all. That's right, they tell you what they are doing with your content—storing posts and delivering them—but no license.

I just cannot, for the life of me, understand how somebody can become this fucking stupid.
These people are worse than worthless. If they died today, the world would be a better place.

@natharari @micahflee it's bad because Dorsey and Musk are in cahoots. Also, they don't ban Nazis https://twitter.com/davetroy/status/1651685098515755010?t=CSGzKdHPMTOusgCIqjqLFA&s=19

"If I were seeking advancement from people I didn’t agree with, it would have been far easier to become a Trumpist and reap the rewards." The WSJ editorial page looks like it can't imagine any motivation for anything other than partisan positioning. https://www.thebulwark.com/the-wall-street-journals-double-standards/
#Russia insisted that #USSR/#Soviet Bloc membership was voluntary, when it was coerced. Russia now implies/claims NATO/EU membership is coerced, when it's voluntary. Ru's manipulation isn't surprising. But Westerners who should be able to see NATO/EU's voluntary nature first-hand and who know very little about the USSR/Soviet Bloc falling for and spreading Ru's claim are exasperating.

@natharari Oh nice idea, so I just came up with a #Traveller #adventure #chatgpt
Let's see: I've lived in 9 US states (Mass, NY, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, California, Arizona, Vermont) and England, Belgium, France, Israel, and Japan.
I used to be a news photographer in Washington DC during the Clinton years. I've worked for Congressional Quarterly, UPI, Scripps Howard News Service.
Now I live again in Paris.
