considering changing my bio to “unrestricted, unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, fully-paid, worldwide”

    This is tech related? Seems mostly about you and your bio.

        Possiblly. It would help if the op poster added more context it’s mostly just difficult to grasp the meaning behind the post as writen and how it relates to tech specifically.

        As written it just seems attention driven.

        It possibly has to do with a license but then they say they are posting it to their bio. So you can see some confusion there.

        I think they see a Lemmy post like a Mastodon post with hashtags. But Lemmy just feels like its different.

      @Rob200@lemmings.world Microblog integration on Lemmy is weird… I thought choosing a community to microblog-post to was just like a hashtag thing. The connection to tech is that many content creation platforms (most recently, the fishyly-foss “loops.video”, which I include as the example) adopt this as a TOS clause:

      When you post Contributions, you grant us a license (including use of your name, trademarks, and logos): By posting any Contributions, you grant us an unrestricted, unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, fully-paid, worldwide right, and license to: use, copy, reproduce, distribute, sell, resell, publish, broadcast, retitle, store, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part), and exploit your Contributions (including, without limitation, your image, name, and voice) for any purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise, to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, your Contributions, and to sublicense the licenses granted in this section. Our use and distribution may occur in any media formats and through any media channels.

      I’d say what posting actually does needs to be clearer, but I’ve already done this on accident before…

        I think its fine with the brief references of various free licenses. But usually on Lemmy posts tend to open the gate to discussion of a particular thing (memes, news, comedy) or subject.

        While this post just seems to be more attention driven torwards ones self then anything else.

          @Rob200@lemmings.world Like I said it’s supposed to be a microblog post (think Mastodon, Twitter, Bluesky)
