Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Bro, this community rocks, I didn't ditch Reddit completely but god all the time I head to /r/piracy are the same repeated memes all over again, here we have actual discussion.

As /r/piracy was one of my favorite subreddits, if not the favorite I always was scared Reddit would vanish it... Well not anymore, I am glad Lemmy happened so we have this awesome community, possibly forever.

BTW my lemm.ee account was created due to my prior lemmy.world blocking this community, I know they backtracked that decision, but I am so comfortable here that I didn't even bother to go back.

You are the man!

My memory is hazy, but during the subreddit protest, he was somehow removed from moderator list (did the admins got involved?), and the sub reopened shortly after. From then on, any thread about migration to Lemmy is full of people roasting each other. It was awful. No idea why those who remains were so vehemently opposed to migration of a piracy community. It's not like you can openly discuss piracy stuff on Reddit without risking removal by the admins.

The two things that rule the internet, pussy.

how’s that working out for you?

It's an issue that could be solved within lemmy where communities with the same name should be able to merge and show each others content.

This is bad idea though, unless if it's an optional feature that the users themselves choose to activate (e.g similar to multireddit, but you don't have to manually curate the communities yourself). Imagine the same community from two opposing instances (e.g. blahaj and hexbear) somehow got merged by default. That would be an absolute shitshow. Also, how would moderation work? Those communities often have different moderation rule. Can mods from one community remove posts from another community with the same name? This would also be an absolute shitshow.

Those people are weird. I’m saying this as someone that has a Steam Deck and runs Proxmox and Opensense and 13 VMs and containers on my network, so you know I understand the value: Linux should never be prescribed to Normies. This is not the year of the Linux desktop. It might be your year of the Linux desktop, and that’s great! But to blanket prescribe it to everyone with a slight problem in Mac or Windows with the phrase “Just Use Linux!:tm:” like all of their problems will go away if you just move to a new OS is the most asinine, fanboy shit I’ve ever heard of. And it doesn’t have anything to do with “skill issues” or whatever, it’s that normal people don’t fucking care, just want shit to work

But I get it, we’re in the fediverse, where people have a higher proclivity for open source, open protocol, open hosting, open bars, etc. But if you’re reading this and getting upset, please understand there’s a whole lot of other shit to care about, and someone’s choice of OS has as much to do with you as their sexual preferences: none at all.
