Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
Instead of being a dick in response to a simple question, maybe have a quick link saved that you can paste for those responses if you get it fairly often. Many lemmy apps will let you save message drafts to repost. Several Android keyboards (including Gboard) will let you save messages that you can paste in anywhere as well. Or, since you;re probably using something to add that signature to every post anyway. Add another link explaining. Because right now you just look like an asshole in the responses given how easy it is to do that.
Being a dick in response to an honest question will just result in a negative reaction towards all of your posts in general, regardless of your intent. Many people utilize tagging systems to mark specific users they've interacted with previously so they don't bother interacting directly with certain accounts like trolls again since that's always a waste of time. If your intent is to drive interaction away, then you're being successful, but it begs the question why you're bothering to post at all.
It doesnt seem they care about people knowing what the license stuff is about or spreading awareness about it. Its edgy thats what matters

Wow, yet another sarcastic and again unhelpful response with an air of perceived superiority. How surprising. Your consistency is commendable.
Seriously, feel free to block me. Otherwise, why are you wasting your time, and getting upset?
And yeah I know big guy/gal, you're not getting ""upset"". But still, why bother?
Just hit that block buttom. Its there, calling to you.

I'd rather just block your miserable ass. 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️
You'd think, right?
Seems though like I keep having people who rather tear into me over and over again instead, for my licensing my content by including a footer in my comments, than just blocking me, for some strange reason.

Heyyy Cosmy
they were pretty niceeee… anyway -
I use Snippety on iOS/macOS but “Text Replacements” is built in to both, in Settings - FREE auto expansion of, say a short keyword like…
could expand to
Someone will have an Android/PC recommendation, maybe something from F-Droid.
PS: would DEF say no to suggestion of two links in every post - one link in every post is already surprisingly noisy on mobile, but I’m sure that’ll be granularly toggleable one day
Being called a dick more than once (especially when I don't think I am), is not what I would consider being "pretty nice". ...
The issue is I'm getting brigaded on an every 48ish hour basis, and it always starts with an 'innocent' inquiry comment, and then turns into attacks, and then with large downvotes. Not sure how much of that ANYONE should have to put up with that, and still have to be 100% polite in response to that.
In the future, I'll give them the link to that large post that discusses the issue.
I really wasn't being a dick, not at all (and I'm a polite person in real life by personality). Please consider that maybe others are being intellectually dishonest on purpose, reading more into what I've been saying, to apply an attitude to it, so to be able to criticize more harshly. Persons with an agenda (a really "WTF is wrong with people?" weird one, but still).
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have like nine other comments from the brigade to read/respond to.
