Comment on What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments?

A personal request, based on this subject.
I would very much like to not be astroturfed/brigaded every 18 to 24 hours because I’m licensing my comments.
Usually the first comment is someone asking me why I’m using a license, then the second comment replying to the first comment is someone else chastising my intelligence and my usage of the license and saying I don’t know what I’m doing, and then explaining the completely wrong terms why I’m licensing it, and then the first person from the first comment replies with the third comment saying how dumb or silly or funny I am for doing that, rinse / repeat.
(A funny aside, the pattern I described above, the third comment was identical text, with days separating the two occurrences, and then later on someone went back and change the third comment on the second most recent occurrence to be worded slightly different, after the fact.)
Another one is I get someone who goes on very very long diatribes asserting law and legalities (even though when I ask them if they are a lawyer they never answer, or they say no), using many paragraphed comments to tell me in every way why I’m wrong, but then finishing their diatribe off with how they really don’t care about the subject, but are just giving a friendly explanation to me why I’m getting downvoted, when I didn’t ask, and when voting wasn’t even being discussed.
And finally, the 15ish downvotes on every comment I’m making. (The one that really made me laugh was the one where I reply with one word, “Thanks”.)
Just leave me the fuck alone. If you don’t like seeing my comments with license links, feel free to block me.
Thank you for reading and understanding.

Yeah all of this hate just feels unnecessary. I’m sorry that @onlinepersona@programming.dev and you are going through this.
Just for the heads up I support you guys.

Thanks for the support 💗
I’m not very affected by it, honestly. It makes me chuckle that people get so offended about a link in a comment. Sometimes I respond, but quite often I block and move on.

You look through my history in the last fiveish days, you’ll see an excessive amount of people attacking me for using the license/link. You can only block so much before admins really need to and should step in and ‘tend to their garden’ (especially if its being done by astroturfers), especially when it borderlines harassment.
Plus blocking here doesn’t keep them from seeing what you post and replying to it, only you seeing their replies. So I don’t consider it as actual blocking.

Thank you, its appreciated.
Its so, irrational, for a single link in a comment.
I’m still of the thinking that its astroturfers trying to prevent licenses from being used (which if true, would REALLY like Lemmy.World admins to start handling them). Either that, or its the non-‘touch grass’ anti-social crowd, which seem to rule here on Lemmy.
Never expected this level of a Spanish Inquisition. /queueMontyPython

Its gotten even more aggressive today, both in this community, and in other communities that I’m posting in.

Well I think you could do a few things.
A) Talk to you admin about harassment and ask them to look into this when they can. B) Start posting in communities that have a higher intolerance to this kind of behaviour (I’m thinking Beehaw communities) C) Make a post on !anticorporate@lemmy.giftedmc.com and see if you can get even more people doing it.
I’m actually thinking of adding these to my posts as well now just to see more people’s reactions. Do you know of a way to automatically add it to the end of your posts?

Lemmy.World doesn’t have a signature field at the account level, so I copy/paste the signature in.
This is the unformatted text that I’m copying/pasting …
