To be clear, I’m not objecting to applying a license to content.

I’m objecting to shoving a license in everyone’s face that’s bigger than the actual content.

Originally, I just had the Creative Commons license number, with no description, but then someone was complaining about not knowing what that was.

So then I changed it to just be a description of what it is, with no license number, but then someone was complaining about that.

So then I had both at a regular font size, but someone was complaining about that, so I shrunk the font, to be less conspicuous.

But then some Android/Apple clients don't display the Lemmy subscript/superscript fonts formatting properly, and I get people telling me it looks ugly, so I have to tell them to get their UI clients devs to fix their client issues with fonts, or to use the web client UI.

And finally, now, I have both the description and the license number in there, in a smaller font, and educating some people about their mobile clients formatting smaller fonts bugs, aaannnnndd, somebody's still complaining about that.

If it bothers you that much, Feel. Free. To. Block. Me.

The formatting is broken btw, at least looks that way on Thunder. Like there is an extra whitespace before the ] and hence, it looks like text and not a link.

There's an issue with some Android / Apple clients that don't render subscript and superscript fonts correctly. The web client doesn't have this issue.

You'll need to speak with the devs of your client to have that fixed.

You can refer them to this page, that has the formatting instructions: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/02-media.html

it could say 'anti AI thingy'. Small and descriptive.

But what does it do?

Your description is missing one of the key points of it though.

But what does it do?

If you want the layman's version, look at the 'Canonical URL' link at towards the top of the page, and that'll get you to a laymans summary for the license.
