I understand your frustration. It feels like stealing in a way, and a crosspost is a clean and neat way to share a post in a different community.

That being said, I don’t see it as a huge issue. Even setting aside that this particular user has a reason for doing that (which you might agree with or not), Lemmy is not that big that a few reposts feel like a problem, and having more activity is nice.

Basically the same if you’re horny for Jesus

Glute Honk

Or, as I call it, sexual harassment

Because Dyson sucks?

Is that something used to power a ham? Or a battery made of pork?

Or is it a crime against pigs?

Nice to meet you, my name is Honk Ifyoulovejesus

We need to bring back the term glassholes

That’s really Aladeen

Massachusetts? Nah, too not English, Mass-America Massashooting

Mushroom aren’t classified as either plants nor animals, with some arguing they’re much closer to animals. I’m not a vegan or vegetarian myself, but that’d be an interesting point to consider.

Sounds good Mr. Chamberlain

And don’t get me started on mushrooms

Womp womp

Gold would have 0 value, so that’s not an option either

Limited liability is a legal status in which a person’s financial liability is limited to a fixed sum, most commonly the value of a person’s investment in a corporation, company, or joint venture. If a company that provides limited liability to its investors is sued, then the claimants are generally entitled to collect only against the assets of the company, not the assets of its shareholders or other investors.

Nobody’s saying that.

We should however prevent the hoarding of residential buildings

Because the landlord, i.e. the LLC, only owns that property, and nothing else

We’re saying that maybe, just maybe, basic human necessities shouldn’t be the object of speculation.

Companies shouldn’t be able to own homes.

The purpose of copyright should be to allow authors to live off their work, and the purpose of its expiration should be to allow society at large to benefit from it.

Given that, I’d favor a return to the origins of the Statute of Anne, so something like 15 years with the chance of a single extension of 15 more years. Only the original author can apply for the extension, but the rights don’t expire with their death and can be sold or inherited.

This would give people 30 years to earn money from their work, and if a business buys them they get at most 15 years to use them, without the chance of hoarding them for too long.

I guess the ideal duration could be more or less than that, but I feel a good rule of thumb is: if some work came out during my lifetime, I have a reasonable chance to see it become part of the public domain while I’m still alive (and potentially use it to make something else from it).
