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.

Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

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.
