Hey everyone. Digging up my Hubzilla account to talk about some #wiki and #writing stuff. As a fiction writer on the side, thinking about distribution of my work has been a longstanding issue. It's why I am using Asciidoc for formatting my writing.
Which works when I have access to my laptop. But not so much when I'm on the go. Same goes with Leo Editor. Love it, but I can't access it on my phone.
So I've been bouncing around between scribbling items in Standard Notes, crossposting them with write.as or the Articles part of Hubzilla if needed, and even a few tiddlywikis. They all work for quickly getting things down, but now it's all disorganized again. Which is kind of awkward. S:
I've been thinking of using something like A Muse Wiki for dumping my creative writing items into since it's specially designed for publication.
What've other authors in the Fediverse been using for publishing their fiction and making sure it's downloadable in easy to read formats? -

@moonman Ferengi have been explored in Deep Space Nine a lot. -

@moonman It kind of was, but then it slowly reshaped itself into the United States of America. -

@lnxw48a1 There's just no current maintainer.
It's that Gecko vulnerability, it's been fixed in the mainline, of course. -

@noyoushutthefuckupdad Be aware that #Startpage was apparently bought by an advertising analytics company. https://restoreprivacy.com/startpage-system1-privacy-one-group/ Probably not a search engine to recommend any more, even if you're willing to take the risk for your own searches. -

@thegibson @lnxw37a2 @mewmew @mangeurdenuage @lnxw48a1 @simsa03 @moonman @dude Dr. Skrzyk did write that he's okay with how the licence in the footer is now, so it seems like this is over.
Except that I didn't change the footer and it looks just like it was before.
I did add extra links there to address him not being able to find contact information though, but this was after that.
Weird. But if it is all good, then it is all good. -

> It sounds like @drskrzyk tried to go that route first.
@thegibson @simsa03 @mewmew @mangeurdenuage @lnxw48a1 @lnxw37a2 @moonman @dude It wasn't made clear how to reach out, so I do get the issue here.
The way it happened for me is roughly as follows: he wrote to the datacentre about a "copyright violation", of course everyone took it very seriously and what I got on my plate is an ultimatum to resolve this no matter what, or else.
His request can be interpreted as a "remove me", so that's how the person who provides the virtual machine approached this. I removed it the moment I saw it however, as I think that even though it got scary for us, it can be, and therefore should be, resolved through communication. -

> I don't think I've been affected yet, but I'm a content creator and I don't want anyone to use my work for commercial and derivative works, etc. just because they might have found it thru your instance.
@ellakane That makes sense.
However, there's a different issue here, that's been talked about for years, yet Mastodon chose not to address (if they have, I have not seen it) by just hoping it doesn't really matter: when a notice goes through the Fediverse, it is being re-distributed, possibly even commercially, so if a notice is not clearly licensed, it may even be illegal to federate it.
But I'm guy an instance admin, that footer is the default of GNU social, the software that started the Fediverse and has been the mainline of it for many years.
I think the only reason I got to be in the centre of all this is because search engines like !loadaverage for some reason. And because that's not the first time this caused problems, GNU social nightly now asks "robots" not to index remote profiles. -

> The notice at the bottom now says... "CC-BY-3.0 All LoadAverage content and data are available under the CC-BY-3.0 license." so... huzzah! The rest below is historical.
@drskrzyk It was like that before, it has not been changed.
> I guess their solution, rather than to fix the copyright notice, was to just block my account.
It was a smart choice of mine to give a moderator to the person whose livelihood depends on the hosting, I should've seen it coming that she will block you to try to resolve this.
After an extremely bad night, I woke up and unbanned you. I'm sorry, that was not my intent.
> If I'd had a way on their pages (or registration) to find out who to contact, believe me I would have.
It's on https://loadaverage.org/doc/contact
But since loadaverage.org isn't doing anything special here, the real place to go with this is: https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social/issues -

@simsa03 You're probably right. But then they should at least put this info in their site's docs, so that more experienced users can point to them. There should never be a situation where a user files a copyright complaint at an instance's hosting company because they accidentally discovered that their (public) posts also go to other instances. Nor should the instance admin fail to explain it if the user comes to them.
