I’ve grown up underweight my whole life into adulthood, got on birth control, and now carry weight despite eating the same fruit/veggie based diet and less food (cause inflation hurts) PLUS regular access to the gym. Tbh thanks to the person who posted the articles because the cognitive dissonance was getting too much to handle!
Human connection is a need just as strong as hunger or rest, like it’a almost an accepted medical issue that loneliness causes early death. If anything, having such a low rate of marriage only further harms the low income group more than it would higher income groups
I understand on a current technical side why this is not possible, but the post still has some merit in that misuse of original posts can lead to legal action.
Right now, all content posted online is generally accepted as unlicensed, free to use however one pleases, works. This was fine at the beginning, but as the internet grew, control of one’s data increasingly got more difficult to control - once social media became the dominate form of communicating, it was all over.
Early blogs still have copyrights posted on them that, legally, can be enforced and respected. So if each user was able to indicated in meta data their choices, with most defaulting probably to a free license, then there is some level of control returned to the user, regardless of protocol and how things get replicated on servers.
Licenses include reproduction, and the way activitypub works can make that quite murky (its being republished on servers) but that is not all it covers.
OP, I think this is a very interesting topic to discuss, thanks for bringing it up!
