Bro I'm still jittery from hating on spez.. all I had to see were some of the comments lemmy.world mods and admin made and it was fucking easy as piss to move instances.

Not getting rid of my old account tho, they can continue to host everything I posted.

What’s this drama now? The “anti-piracy” person sounds like a troll. Especially if they’re shit posting like this on a piracy-focused community. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Them defederating piracy communities was the nail in the coffin for me, just deleted account.

First was some weird shit about a porn community with petite girls and how it invites pedophiles. Even though that one doesn't affect me, it's still like uhhhhh, petite women exist......

Now this piracy shit. It's like they're pushing their morals and "concerns" onto every member without consent. Reddit still has piracy and petite subreddits, which paints somewhat of a picture of how non issue they are.

Hopefully shitjustworks is fast, stable, and doesn't pull that shit.

I claim user name of Bungiefan. I came up with it, so it's mine. All posts made under that user name are now my intellectual property.

I genuinely do understand concerns about legal issues and the risk of facilitating illegal activities- but its not even hosted on their instance, why would it mater that the communities EXIST. They're literally hosted by someone else...?

[–] CapillaryUpgrade@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 1 year ago (7 children)

But it is hosted on your home server.

When you subscribe to a community, your home server downloads the content and passes it on to you.

This is not like when The Pirate Bay was allowed to live because it only hosted torrent files and not copyrighted content, in the fediverse, you copy the content to your own server, and pass it on to the client/user, which means hosting the content.

It's a good thing that community doesn't host anything illegal then. The argument doesn't make sense because the community isn't spreading copyrighted content.

It's like banning true crime communities because they discuss illegal things (gratuitous killing is pretty illegal in pretty much 99.9% of all cultures around the world - possibly 100%).

Nintendo after removing Mario: Mega Cum (1995) for purchase and it’s gets pirated by 30 people

[–] Sused@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 year ago

Obvious troll is obvious

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 12 points 1 year ago

Ironic, since companies would like to consider homebrew at the same level as piracy.
