probably the best thing for folks to do is watermark their stuff, which is a pain in the ass but seems like the best thing for those who do commissions

Looking at the replies it looks like this language has been in Twitter’s TOS since 2020 at least
Ziri✖O
oh I hate that EVEN MORE
«Wᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇʀ»
afaik this kind of language is generally to allow for social media sites to host images at all, it's not unusual
(I'm 100% not an expert so there might be something different about this one but I've seen it come up. Many a time, for many a site)
«Wᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇʀ»
that said Twitter is hot garbage for plenty of other reasons, if anyone is willing to jump ship plz do
I will happily help explain Mastodon for anyone interested in something decentralized
Ziri✖O
isn't mastodon still invite only or am I scambling that with pillowfort
«Wᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇʀ»
that might be pillowfort! Mastodon is a whole bunch of different servers run by different people which can communicate with each other
so it depends on which server you want to get into as your like... home base
«Wᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇʀ»
you'll be able to talk with / view posts from other servers regardless, unless your server admin has blocked them
«Wᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇʀ»
(it's a bit more complicated than that but that's the tldr version)
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
it's pillowfort that's invite,. mastodon is federated which means you're at the mercy of weird individual server owners
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
ut if the language is old then yeah there's definitely no reason to panic
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
some new legally-uneducated person actually stopped to read the ToS without knowing how copyright law works again
