Wanting to talk to other human beings and only getting responses from AI/LLMs is horrible, and a detriment the humanity solving its problems (which may be the point).

What is the link for?

Why would this prevent us from doing anything?

It's an anti commercial license. The thought is that, they don't mind if people copy their comments, save them, re use them, etcetera, they just don't want people to make money off of them, likely this is a response to AI companies profiting off of user comments

However I'm not sure if just linking the license without context that the comment itself is meant to be licensed as such would be effective. If it came down to brass tacks I don't know if it would hold up.

Instead they should say something like

'this work is licensed under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license'

I'm also not sure how it works with the licenses of the instance it's posted on, and the instances that federate with, store and reproduce the content.

I just think they don't understand how copyright and licenses work. If you create a work, you own the copyright. If you license it to someone (even when using a restrictive CC license) you are granting them rights that they hadn't before. It doesn't get more restrictive than just not licensing your comment.
