> The notice at the bottom now says... "CC-BY-3.0 All LoadAverage content and data are available under the CC-BY-3.0 license." so... huzzah! The rest below is historical. @drskrzyk It was like that before, it has not been changed. > I guess their solution, rather than to fix the copyright notice, was to just block my account. It was a smart choice of mine to give a moderator to the person whose livelihood depends on the hosting, I should've seen it coming that she will block you to try to resolve this. After an extremely bad night, I woke up and unbanned you. I'm sorry, that was not my intent. > If I'd had a way on their pages (or registration) to find out who to contact, believe me I would have. It's on https://loadaverage.org/doc/contact But since loadaverage.org isn't doing anything special here, the real place to go with this is: https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social/issues
> At the bottom of their pages the assign all content to a CC-BY-3.0 creative commons license, which violates my rights to my content as well as anyone else who they are scraping. @drskrzyk Let me put it this way… Legally speaking, licences are a giant pain in the arse in federated networks. So you are saying that stating that all loadaverage.org materials are licensed under CC-BY-3.0 is illegal. Okay, then it's illegal that hackers.town omits that licence. And licence omission is an implicit "All Rights Reversed", so everything's illegal.
So yes, there is a problem. What's your solution? > an intellectual property / copyright violation by a client hosted on your network Chopping one's own foot off, right.
@drskrzyk I am sorry for replying in a passive-aggressive manner, but you are bringing the instance I have been using for 7 years to an end. It's hard for me to keep myself calm. And to go just a few days after @kaniini, quite a timing.
> At the bottom they say all the content is under a creative commons license and IANAL, but I'm pretty sure they don't get to reassign license like that. @drskrzyk Let's just say, it's not as easy as that. And it's a standard !gnusocial footer, so why go just to the !loadaverage's datacentre with legal threats specifically? https://fediverse.network/gnusocial – go big instead.
> loadaverage.org... > Registrant Country: RU > *Of course* it fucking is. @drskrzyk Why is that "of course"? It would've been transferred to a more neutral registrar if that weren't so complicated.
to prove that this is done, i have left the pleroma gitlab. do not contact me about pleroma issues anymore.
i used to believe wholeheartedly in the work i was doing involving the fediverse, but i just can't do this anymore.
on the technical side, nobody listens about security. on the social side, everyone immediately assumes the worst about everyone else.
this is not where i want to be.
and this situation reminds me a lot of IRC in the 2000s, where i "grew up."
the script kiddies won then, and with the internet of things, they'll win here too. meanwhile, the people who are actual threats will continue to slip through.
but you know what? this is Not My Problem. you all made this mess, since you don't want to listen, you figure it out. good luck. image.png image.png
@andstatus I do what I can :-). As you can see from the code in actions/apigrouplistall.php, listing only local groups is additional code added there intentionally. I guess the task is to figure out – why %).
