I donated 12 usd, to make it 1 usd per month, without even knowing I am so close to some real value.

It will be interesting in a year to see the costs instances have.

1.5 cents per search query. hmmm… not sure if i could switch my mind to be careful about searches.

I guess I would start using local calculator and dictionary more.

what about? which community?

Maybe you can argue that they wouldn’t have invented it unless they were incentivized by being able to weaponize the legal system as a result of their patent findings

I am cool with that, they wouldn’t make it, but some else would. Maybe some years later, but globaly we would benefit much more.

Same like 3D printers, technology is decades old, but started being used after patent expired. F*** them from slowing us down.

Patents and copyright was invented so that invation would happen, but now corporations are ising them to hinder advancement.

Legal entities cannot own any copyright at all

Never hear about this idea until now, but I think this is the most logical. Copyright applys to humans, and original authors, and should not be transferable.

If you wrote the song, or book, it is yours. That’s it, no one else can be owner of it.

I think this kind of analysis can help a lot, sadly I don’t see anyone interacting on your post.

Please do keep pushing for it and writing down your discoveries and explanations might help others understand the importance.

Howto with real world data (like you are doing) is helping and is quite interesting.

I, personally, would prefer slower linear and more organic growth. I want people to be here because the want to come, not because they want to run away from somewhere else.

But I do acknowledge that there was not much discussion going on and was not enough content for my procrastinating habits, nor I could keep myself informed in current events.

Thou I have had lemmy.ml account for three years now I never heard of beehaw before this reddit wave started, so that might be on me.

While I am positive overall, I do not like that some bad habits from reddit are resurfacing here, mostly not being able to have different opinion without someone insulting you.

I hope there will be enough instances where discussion and difference in opinion will be nurtured and welcome.

I think that having few big instances is not failing, it is natural for social network (where lemmy is some representation of one) to be scale-free network, which has big hubs and buch of smaller nodes connected.

Most people would go to general instances, but artists will probably go to some art focused instabce, developer to proggraming.dev… But we will have bih hubs, there is no way around it.

Yep, and in applications.
