Depends on what I’m making and which ecosystem it will be a part of. For libraries, I use the MIT license most of the time, although I’m probably going to switch to Apache 2.0 for future stuff. It’s a bit more robust and has a helpful licensing framework.
When I make applications (and if possible), I tend to use (A)GPLv3. GPL sometimes doesn’t work though (for example, for my primary language, Clojure). I like the MPL 2.0 as a weak copyleft alternative.
However, recently, I’ve been reconsidering the whole open source/free software ideology, especially the focus on granting unconditional freedoms. I think the view that engineers shouldn’t care what is done with their work is outdated and irresponsible, and it applies to software devs as well. So I’m keeping an eye on the development of alternative source models such as ethical source or licenses like the Anti-Capitalist License.
I don’t know how much time I’ve spent in Minecraft, but it’s probably over 1000 hours.
Second place certainly goes to LoL. They reset the statistics at some point but my guess is also close to 1000 (at some point I had like 700 and kept playing for a while).
I don’t play either of those anymore though.

Diaspora doesn’t use ActivityPub anymore, right? So probably not.
Yeah. I really like the idea of the ACL, but I wouldn’t use it for anything serious right now because it hasn’t undergone proper legal review and its enforceability itself is rather questionable. The author said he was going to work on getting that done this year, we’ll see what happens.
To clarify, I also don’t think the problem I’ve mentioned can be fixed with licenses alone and I still support FOSS in general. The fact that there’s organisations like the SFC and FSF is a bonus, of course.
