    Hm but don’t you automatically own the stuff you create yourself, as long as you don’t consent to giving it away? I don’t know the terms and conditions of my Lemmy instance though.

      When was the last time anyone read the T&Cs of a social media website?

      They basically all have a clause to the effect that you grant them a permanent, irrevocable license do whatever they want with anything you post.

      You might still own the copyright to any content you produce, but by posting you’re granting them permission to do basically anything with it, including reselling it.
