Ok

Please do me a favor. Host an instance that has 50,000 users. Allow everything that people want to post…porn, drugs, guns and piracy. Tell me you are 100% willing to go to jail or mortgage your house to pay your legal bills if it comes to it. Tell me you sleep just fine at night and never worry, or you do worry but you’re just so so so brave you do it anyway. Tell me anyone who wouldn’t do that is a pussy. I don’t believe you would do all of this and I don’t think it’s fair to expect anyone else to if you wouldn’t.

Just FYI, I upvoted your comment because I appreciate you expressing yourself but no one said Lemmy is a platform devoted to free speech and I disagree with everything you said.

I’m not sure anyone is arguing that piracy is bad…not that I’m seeing anyway. Maybe some think that blocking the piracy instances is a moral stance of some kind but personally I’m verrrrrry sure it was not about ethics but about risks posed. People can say oh well its not a problem just to be talking about piracy but lemmyworld is run by a middle class guy with a few thousand $ in donations and it would be nothing for any copyright holder to ruin his life on a whim.

You’re probably right. I was venting. Didn’t mean to offend anyone but people were getting silly with their outrage and felt like lots was misplaced, immature, short sighted

100% agree. The system wasn’t designed to have a few massive instances…many, including myself, didn’t understand at all and thought Lemmy.world was… Lemmy… Much better to have dozens to hundreds of smaller ones and have a few accounts here and there. It’s probably good for people to realize no one controls the fediverse and separate themselves from the idea of even having a “home” instance for all uses. Maybe.

I would bet $10 I’m apologizing to someone literally half my age… 🤷🏻‍♂️

“I’m DELETING my lemmyworld account!” To me sounds teenagery because it seems like the person doesn’t understand how anything works…legally, financially, etc

Corporate bs lol that is deluded. My whole point is that the decision was made by regular people who make zero money from this for practical reasons that are reasonable. Letting off steam just because, don’t mean to make you feel attacked but fuck you too guy. There was no need to say that.

Sorry, Mr. Roger

Cool
