This could be an incredible development (or at least the start of something incredible :-). Right now discourse instances are maybe the highest quality online meeting and discussion places on the internet but they are all separate islands. Some sort of federation among them and maybe with other type of servers (when it makes sense) would open a new window. Watching this with some excitement!
This is what I have done. Pixelfed has the option to assign a license to individual post, so it should not be that hard to implement the same for the rest of the fediverse.
I mainly choose the noncommercial license to stop big actors like Meta from displaying my content alongside their ads. They probably will not respect it, but if this becomes the standard on the social web, we might have some collective leverage down the road, i.e. for a class action lawsuit.

I would really love to see this as an option on the rest of the fediverse where do we pertition for this?
