What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments?
I know what the Creative Commons is but not this new thing or why it keeps popping up in comments on Lemmy

Because people don't understand how copyright works.
In most countries any copyrightable work that you produce is automatically covered by copyright. You don't need to do anything additional to gain that protection.
Most Lemmy instances don't have any sort of licensing grant in their terms of service. So that means that the original author maintains all ownership of their work.
So technically what these people are doing is granting a license to their comment that allows it to be used for more than would otherwise be allowed by the default copyright protections.
What they are probably trying to accomplish is to revoke the ability for commercial enterprises to use their comments. However that is already the default state so it is pretty irrelevant. Basically any company that cares about copyright and thinks that what they are doing isn't allowed as fair use already wouldn't be able to use their comments without the license note. So by adding the license note all they are doing is allowing non-commercial AI to scrape it (which is probably not what was intended). Of course most AI scraping companies don't care about copyright or think that their use is not protected under copyright. So it is again irrelevant.
Ding ding ding. It’s basically the equivalent of that “I don’t give Facebook permission to use my statuses, pictures, etc for commercial purposes…” chain letter that boomers love to post. It has enough fancy legalese and sounds juuuust plausible enough that it’ll get anyone who doesn’t already understand the law.
It reads like a sovcit claim.
That was my thought as well.
Now that I understand it, I'll be able to block the bloc of boneheads.
I know that a broken clock is right twice a day but using a broken clock is just dumb. Out of the 1440 minutes in a day, it gets 1438 of them wrong? Broken clocks get binned.
Definitely along the same vein, except it doesn't drag a bunch of innocent people into it like SovCitizens do when they drive without a license or insurance or refuse to pay back loans/credit cards.

Don't you guys get tired of repeating yourself?
Ohhh come on now, you've got too see the irony here. Don't you get tired of repeatedly adding that license? No, of course not. You just like the attention, it's okay lol I won't tell anyone your secret ;)

I'd prefer if Lemmy had a signature field as part of the account, so I could put it there once and forget about it, yes.
But otherwise it's a long press copy, and a long press paste, and I'm done. It's not rocket science.
No, of course not. You just like the attention, it’s okay lol I won’t tell anyone your secret ;)
No human being on this planet would want to be constantly harassed by, and having to defend themselves from, astroturfers/bots who are trying to prevent other people from jumping on the bandwagon of protecting their content by licensing it explicitly.
It's a pain in the ass speaking with people like you, especially the when they think that they're 'Winning!' with their assumed snappy replies.
I'll be explicit, again. Leave me the f alone about my using of a license! If you don't like seeing the license as part of my comments, FEEL FREE TO BLOCK ME. The repetitiveness is becoming harassment.
protecting their content by licensing it explicitly.
You can do whatever you want, of course. But any license you put on your content here protects it less than not putting any license at all. That's after all what licenses are for, granting people use of your content.
So you're not so much protecting your comments, but graciously allowing them to be used for training for non-commercial purposes, where most people are greedily keeping them to themselves. I suppose that's admirable.

You're not telling me anything that I don't already know.
I have no problem for my content being used for open-source reasons. Commercial reasons without compensation is another matter.
Ahh see if only you had added the Anti-Harssment license I wouldn't have made this comment. It's such a shame that you lack the common sense to have added that. Didn't you know that if you don't have an anti-harassment license, I wouldn't be able to keep commenting?
Any particular reason why you're harrasing me at this point, over a single link in a comment?
Why'd you even initiate this conversation if you think people are harassing you when they talk about your giant 26pt font license?
giant 26pt font license
That's an issue with your client.
Do you think responding to you twice is harassment? Before you answer that's rhetorical; I'll be explicit, I'm mocking you because what you're doing is dumb. You continue to post like an idiot and seeing you get down voted is fun lol
You didn't add the anti-harresment licence. You done messed up.
So by adding the license note all they are doing is allowing non-commercial AI to scrape it (which is probably not what was intended).
I have no problem with non-commercial scraping. It's commercial scraping that doesn't compensate me for my content that I have a problem with.
Pull your content off the web

The proper way for you not to see my content would be to just block me.
I don't care about seeing your content. I'm sure its good. I just believed that the internet was a tool to end data scarcity and instead we've moved much further back and now with all this stuff we're just putting nails in that coffin. I still hold out for a world were data is shared and people collaborate to produce new content.
As long as you can profit from new data, data scarcity will never end.
It really could have.
Ok. So you should probably frame your license like that. Instead of saying "Anti Commercial-AI license" say "Pro Non-commercial-AI license".

I don't think you need to get hung up on a sentence describing what my purpose was for including the license in my comment.
