People bitching about Lemmy.world blocking piracy instances sound like spoiled teenagers with no consideration of consequences
Humans who run instances are real people who have jobs and mortgages and kids. I also like having piracy communities around to balance the greedy ass corporations trying to control media and copyright…I’m glad to know they are there if I need them or feel like screwing around with it. I just wonder if the people ranting all indignantly acting like instances are competing for their usership would feel the same if the most active instance was on a server physically sitting in their basement, or paid for by money tied to them in the real world. Yes it seems pretty unlikely that you’re ever going to run into issues with law enforcement, copyright claims, lawsuits…but how much would you risk for a fucking hobby you do for free? Would you risk your house? Your job? I would not. Grow up. No one cares what instance you use.
No, calling protective measures fascism/thought controlling/etc is in fact closer to thought controlling than that in itself. And besides you can easily bypass this ban, which wasn't done in secret but with a public announcement.
Lol, do I need to be protected from the pirates? Am I going to be taken away by the dirty criminals? Is this decreed for my own good? What will you do if I continue to object?
If it's stupid, then why must you resort to the violence of abusive language? Your defenses have broken down. You're reduced to the bare essence of your own argument. A crying child behind a digital mask.
'It' isn't stupid, you're. Or you're just trolling, if that's the case, hey I see you, you got attention and now can go back to your unfulfilling life.
I kinda hope you're a troll because holy fucking shit you should be studied if you're this stupid.
It's really sad living in a world where people don't realize that narcissism is a set of behaviors and not an insult. That's what we get for letting Republicans destroy education.
