POSSE - Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere
POSSE is an abbreviation for Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, the practice of posting content on your own site first, then publishing copies or sharing links to third parties (like social media silos) with original post links to provide viewers a path to directly interacting with your content.
🛑 TikTok: The Worst of the Big Socials?
Yes, TikTok's Licence is Worse.
TikTok's rules are the same as Meta's: You own the Copyright, but TikTok owns the Licence to use, copy, and change your content forever, with no pay.
🤯 Data Access: TikTok's data collection is famous for being extremely broad. They track details like your:
Device model
Battery state
Keystroke patterns (how you type/tap)
AI Training: They use this massive data haul (your videos, your watch time, your clicks) to train their powerful, unrivalled AI algorithm. They are feeding the machine their best data.
National Security: The ownership structure is under constant fire from governments, which adds a high-stakes, political risk to your data.
TikTok is the most aggressive data collector out of Meta & LinkedIn.
SURE: You get fame, but you give away more power than anywhere else.
🤔 Is the chance of virality worth giving up control over your typing patterns?
💼 LinkedIn: Same Licence, Different Vibe Is LinkedIn different from Meta? Not legally. You own the Copyright (your idea). LinkedIn owns the Licence (permission to use it). ⚖️ The Short Version: LinkedIn can legally use your post for ads, promotion, or to improve its site without paying you. 🚨 AI Training: LinkedIn is now using your profile, posts, and resumes to train its AI models. They opt you in by default. The Difference: On LinkedIn, you post career data for matching. This gives the licence a professional purpose. But the AI grab is the same as Meta's. If the Fediverse has tech issues, Big Social has big ownership issues that cost you your IP. Choose wisely. 🤔 Does knowing you must opt-out of LinkedIn's AI change what you share for your career? cf. post on your pics on Meta aka FB https://tech.lgbt/@Crissy/115790261887255733 #LinkedInLaw #DigitalOwnership #AITraining

📸 Your Photos, Their Rules? On Big Social: Who REALLY Owns Your Posts? You post a great photo on Facebook or Instagram. Who owns it? ⚖️ The Simple Truth: You own the Copyright. (The idea is yours.) BUT Meta owns the Licence. (They have permission to use it.) 🤯 What The Licence Means The licence you agree to gives Meta the right to use your content for anything they want, forever, without paying you. 🤖 AI Training: Meta uses your photos and posts (even old ones!) to teach their AI models. You are feeding their big computer for free. 🚫 No Stopping: Meta can share or change your photo. Even if you delete it, Meta might keep using it if they need it later. The Fediverse has small tech problems. Big Social has big ownership problems. Stop feeding the machine that takes your value. 🤔 Real talk: Hearing about Meta using your content for AI—does that make the Fediverse look much safer? followup on https://tech.lgbt/@Crissy/115789161317036431 #DigitalOwnership #AITraining #BigTech

@eyeinthesky yep, you got it tho my focus is 100% on the User's IP Ownership Role.
You rightly flag the technical limitations of ActivityPub, but those limitations do not equate to a transfer of intellectual property (IP).
The User owns the IP: Every post, every original thought, every photo remains the user’s copyright. The user grants the instance owner a licence (permission) to host and display the content. They don't give away the deed.
The Server has the custody: The server is the custodian—it holds the data. If the server goes down or bans you, the content is technically inaccessible to others, but the user still holds the original ownership rights to that IP.
The problem is the tool's failure to respect IP, not the user's lack of ownership.
FOR SURE: We need portability that treats our IP like the valuable asset it is.
GOG.com + Heroic Games Launcher (@heroiclauncher) + Steam Deck == Buy and Own Games + Play on Best Handheld.

I still buy games from Steam because there are games that I can't get on GOG (like Battlefield 6, Automobilista 2, Le Mans Ultimate, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, Terminator 2D: No Fate).
But, if I am buying a game, GOG is the first place I look so that I can truly own the game and not a license to play the game.
Here's my profile on GOG.com, let's be friends!

NFT là gì vào năm 2025? Không còn bong bóng JPEG, nhưng NFT vẫn sống khỏe trong từng ngõ hẹp. Thay vì đầu cơ, NFT giờ là vé sự kiện, vật phẩm trong game, thẻ thành viên, hoặc chứng chỉ số – thứ bạn thực sự sở hữu và kiểm soát. Dưới lớp vỏ hype là một công cụ cho quyền sở hữu kỹ thuật số thật sự. NFT = hợp đồng thông minh quản lý đồ vật (ai sở hữu cái gì), khác DeFi là quản lý tiền. Không còn bùng nổ, nhưng ổn định và có ích.

Consoles now have long lifespans — often 5+ years of active use.
But digital game purchases are really just licenses, meaning access can disappear anytime the platform chooses.
