Dude putting a CC license on every comment is incredibly cringe just fyi.
And telling someone that ranks right up there in cringe as well.
GENERALLY SPEAKING, how about you just reply to the subject the comment is talking about, instead of just its footer?

While you may find it cringe, I meant it as a courtesy to you. I'd rather not engage with you at all beyond informing you of what i just did, if it's all the same to you. The less iterations of 100% legally pointless comment "footers" i can see spamming this comment section the better. I am grateful nobody else is doing this though. It would make it unbearable to read any comments.
The option to block me is available to you.
You and others don't have to repeatedly comment that you disagree with me using a footer, you can just block me.
People have had footer sections in their comments since the beginning of the Internet and somehow commenting and posting continued to exist.
If Lemmy wanted to give me a better way of licensing my comments that others would see, when they're reading my comments, and most importantly, that is supported by law, I would be all for it.
Otherwise, I use a small font text to minimize the impact of the footer, something I don't have to do.

Yeah so is the option to inform you, you are bothering people. Blocking is an eventuality of course, but i usually only block right away comments whose content i dislike and except your cc license i have nothing against the content of your comments.
Theres a reason why the 90s web forum design was never widely adopted and it's dead now. Nobody cares about witty quotes or how many posts an account has, or badges, or a little picture or footers.
Anyway, i won't even comment on the law part because that's a can of worms and i don't want to write a huge wall of text. Like i previously said, for the purpose you think the footers have, they are pointless. Nevertheless, i appreciate at least the small font.
Anyway i think i said what i had to say about this.
I can only repeat, you're not telling me anything I have an already heard, and disagree with.
One can argue why a single sentence, in a smaller size font, would be bothering to someone, especially in a forum where text is used to express opinions.
One can also argue why Lemmy.World has the features of formatting your text, if they would be bothersome to people.
But you truly are free to block me, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. I would like to think my content is entertaining and worth reading, and something you would miss, but the choice is ultimately yours, either way.
But you're not allowed to dictate to me what I can and cannot put in my comments, or how I license my content.
