That seems completely compatible with sharing a link, which was one of the things the author objected to? (I agree with them in not liking screenshot-sharing culture)

  I think their biggest issue was suddenly being viral, while also dealing with server incursion/tons of new accounts, which meant that lots and lots of people are suddenly clamoring specifically for their attention/making requests for said lists/asking what the rules are/responding directly to the post that went viral but without being vetted beforehand or understanding the previous implicit social rules. While they started with a small discussion with people informed about the differences and server stress became instead a tornado of a much larger discussion while also dumping more stress on the servers, as well as emotional stress of having to deal with all the incoming attention. So. They are overwhelmed, and everything seems like it needs to be solved with the highest priority, but they aren't set up with enough help desk/sub-admin people to filter/protect themselves. Basically all mastodon server admins have a need, at least temporarily, for some business style structure. They need a Janine Melnitz (Ghostbusters Secretary) to prioritize server is burning down messages, organize non-server is burning down contact requests, and direct help/press requests to appropriate people. And perhaps someone else available to work on social onboarding. All personal blog/toot/tweets posted by said overwhelmed server admins should also be taken with a grain (or more) of salt. They may feel differently when things are calmer, or might be able to be more diplomatic in general. Overall though, it was good to hear about how the Author is feeling, and how self-aware they are about how it was similar to when their cohort joined and had to adapt and how the previous fediverse admins might have dealt with similar things. "..there are names for the sort of person who makes lists of people so others can monitor their communications. They’re not nice names.”

That appears to be true for the https://hughrundle.net https://hughrundle.net website. It would be unreasonable for the author to complain about consent for people sharing his blog posts anywhere after publishing a public license granting consent to the whole world to do just that (as long as people are following the license). It does not appear to be true for the https://ausglam.space/@hugh https://ausglam.space/@hugh Mastodon account. Copying the Mastodon posts and sharing them on Twitter without permission is a copyright violation, and generally rude.

  The problem here is what a person who is willfully slaps CC-BY on their [personal] content (and a librarian to boot) should understand the caveats of providing a public access to their opinions. Instead there are "I'm suddenly feel offended because people quote my public opinion without explicitly asking me if they are allowed to do so". > without permission is a copyright violation It has nothing to do with a copyright, especially if the quoting (in any way) was done with attribution. > and generally rude If it was taken out from a non-public medium (I'm not even sure if Mastodon has this functionality[0]) then sure, but as I understand this is not what happened here. Note: I checked that M. instance[1] and there is no signage about content ownership or anything like that.
