@timbray @jnm re: “The Fediverse needs to get its content-licensing shit together.”

This is actually a nice @pixelfed feature. You can set a license for each post. Screenshot attached.

I’m not sure what enforcement there is, if any. It’s fairly buried with no obvious way to set a default. It doesn’t appear in the main post view.

I still use it every time 😃

Here’s a PixelFed post I added a license to - can you find it? https://pixelfed.social/p/peterbronez/514067269392443567
