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.

I think that you should keep posting with your signature if it makes you happy. I have some sincere doubts it will force a corporation to exclude your content from any aggregated data, though, nor do I think anyone is giving up their rights by not properly licensing their comments here. Copyright is automatic in the USA. The problem isn't the licensing, its the fact that no court is properly enforcing these rights. And, too few governments have data privacy laws on the books.
I'm not interested in relitigating those points though, I'm sure you've heard them. I guess I'm just typing that up so you know where I'm coming from.
I do think your signature is valuable when it makes people consider who owns their data, and why the CC license is important.
Personally I think you should put an explanation in your bio. I think your message will be served better if you can point to a pre-written explanation (or even an old style FAQ). But, I don't think you're obligated to do so. Its all gravy. People are going to fight you regardless.
Did you see that post from that guy mad about a period character on slashdot? Lmao
Actually I have the CC license info/link in my bio as well.
If people ask me with honest intent I would be responding in kind and explain it, gladly. But that is not been my experience here on Lemmy.
So I don't know why I should put myself through that kind of trolling from others, again, again, and again, under the guise of trying to educate someone on what a CC license is, who most likely already knows, or by a bot starting a brigade cycle.
I know that's a cynical view, and I hate stating what I just did, but I feel that I truly earned the right to that cynical opinion, as that's what the vast majority of my experiences have been here on the Lemmy, both ten months ago, as well as currently.
The irony is that if someone just clicks on the link in my footer it'll take them to a page of the license that also explains what the Creative Commons license is, so they really don't need me to explain it, they could just click on the link I've already supplied.
I do appreciate your kind words and civil discussion, and suggestions, thank you for that, sincerely.
