Great idea, im wondering myself, since it was a core goal of framasofts peertube to have donation integration or something similar, but it never happened. Hope someone is still working on it.

Isnt that just… stealing? I mean, if that works, then im opening a fast food chain with a t&c you have to sign that legally allows me to take all your posessions…
I am sceptical of the idea. If every post had a specific license, it would be a minefield to federate or host, because every post could potentially forbid sharing it, or have other stipulations.
Most posts and comments are not copyrightable anyway. A few sentences are not enough to count as a “creative work”. It would need to be your entire posting history, and even then its dubious if that counts as one work.
I propose instead that we do it like wikipedia and others, and that the server as a whole has a license.
sounds like a good middle ground!
Ah, so you want a ‘hard’ defederation, that works just like it does now, and a ‘soft’ defederation, that users could opt to disable? Interesting.
However, as others said already, that would mean that servers now also have to federate with other servers that most users and the mods probably dont see, creating difficult moderation challenges…
its open source under the AGPL license https://github.com/TheBLVD/mammoth
… have practically relaunched the same press release that praises Mammoth, the Mastodon app developed by The BLDV Inc. , the Californian start-up financed by Mozilla (and THEREFORE by Google, which now finances 90% of Mozilla)
Thats a pretty crazy statement. Mozilla is not a shell company for google. They have very different goals, and google pays mozilla for google search as default because otherwise, firefox users would have a different search as default, giving another search engine a serious opportunity to get big.
Mozilla funds many things, and this is just a well made open source client for mastodon. There is no secret big corp. agenda behind it because that would be crazy. Why wouldnt google develop such a thing in house and use their influence to bring users to it, and why use mozilla, the rival browser company, to do it? This is a major flaw in the article, serious enough that I cant take it seriously.
Are you thinking of YaCy?
