/r/Piracy is just a bunch of memes, and this community actively talks about piracy, it’s ethical philosophy and taking control over your media. There are people who pirate everything regardless of circumstances, but for the most part, I’d argue its people who have been burnt by companies whom they trusted.
/r/piracy is just a bunch of memes
Because otherwise it would get instantly banned. You don’t host piracy communities on social media, it’s well known
I disagree that it actually talks about the “ethical philosophy.” Basically either you join the echo chamber saying that there are no ethical problems with piracy, or you’re downvoted to oblivion. The responses are along the lines of “idc, I want free stuff.” That makes the discussion redundant and uninteresting.
Piracy is good actually; the only people who disagree are squares who will never own capital of their own, and actual capitalist leeches
because the flipside is companies wanting to nickel and dime you to oblivion for a subpar piece of media, or even hardware these days.
We’re talking about whether the community has a nuanced discussion about the ethics of piracy or not. What you said just now is another attempt at a false dichotomy, so if you’re trying to represent the community you’re kind of proving my point.
im presenting you with a simple, common but strong argument for it.
you can choose to engage with it with nuance or, apparently, attack me.
you won’t agree with every set of ideals out there, that doesn’t mean it isnt tought out.
Your argument is not relevant to anything I said. So I don’t want to engage with it because it derails the discussion here, which is not about the ethics of piracy but about the community’s openness to discussing it.
yes it is. you just dont want to have that discussion.
the community will rightfully shun people parroting the copyrights holders arguments and bad faith arguing, because thats not the place to be if you hate piracy.
They can do whatever they want, it’s their community. Just don’t tell me there’s a nuanced discussion going on there.

Idk if it’s still there, but devs of lemmy mentioned wanting to make a place you could actually talk about piracy. I buy things when I can DRM free, and when I can’t I’m really glad this community exists

hey thats me! 🤗
Gotta be !imageai@sh.itjust.works. The weekly community challenges are really cool and I don’t think you could find a better space to experiment with and learn about AI artwork. The userbase is knowledgeable/skilled on the topic and also has good vibes.
Aw, thank you!
That’s so nice to hear :)You’re a good egg. Our server is lucky to have you
!stick@sh.itjust.works is a pretty unique community on the Lemmyverse.
I’ve found my home
Are you a dog?
I didn’t know that I needed this, thanks!
(abstract) The overall dev community here. This place has a lot of the extremely capable bleeding edgers, the people capable of changing the world for the better with a couple weeks of thought.
where do they mostly lurk ? I want to piggyback on these worldchanging devs
.ml is the oldest Lemmy instance and home of the Lemmy devs. You mostly need to ask compelling questions and read between the lines to get a bigger picture view.
The Tom Swifty sub has been locked without explanation for a year on reddit. But !tomswifty@midwest.social is thriving!
TIL about Tom Swifty jokes. It’s like a pun on steroids. Brilliant!
I’m gonna need someone to explain what that is a little more. I’m super confused.
It’s a type of joke where the spoken line relates to the described manner of speaking, usually in a pun, eg.
“Salmon is just the best,” Tom said superficially.
The adverb “superficially” sounds like “super fish”, which describes Tom’s attitude towards salmon.
TIL we have a Tom Swift community
!femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone I’m sorry.
Dude same! I fucking love those memes
The chat ones from -grad and Hexbear are my favourite by far.

I also made one for Aldi fans, surving past 40, and ethical consumerism. I would love for more fun discussions and recommendations posted on these. It’s really hard to get people to post.

One post? Kinda seems like less of a community and more like you promoting the spaces you have created. Which is fine, but not really what the question was.
Well, I guess I was hoping to foster some community, but keep on gatekeeping, thats cool
It’s great that you want to create more communities but making one and then only putting up one post isn’t going to get it done…
Love ya
I’m open to advice my friend. I’m not an experienced mod, but I enjoyed these communities on reddit and was hoping to recreate some of the magic
I hope these take off, I just subscribed to two of them

!ich_iel@feddit.de
Technically, it has an equivalent in r/ich_iel. But that’s a generic German meme sub, while the fediverse version is dominated by half a dozen users making memes about their private life. It has a weird-as-fuck soap opera love story between a cow and ramen noodles, hero worship of a bright yellow superhero fighting against parking offenders, and genuinely interesting insights into the German public train system.Alright since we’re self promoting:
It tries to quantify “how timeless” a song is based on its lyrics, by tracking the etymology of words and phrases to their earliest occurence. It then forms a score based on the terms.

Excellent. Didn’t know about this one. I’ve been diving into conservas a lot lately with some diet changes, so this is super.
Can You fix the link? I’d love to have a look

I couldn’t agree more.
Crikey, liberal settlers have been through here. Lookit that responseless score-cratering…
i came here to say this but it looks like an unpopular opinion.
the tankie instances are a breath of fresh air among all the usians thinking that THIS TIME their democrat politician will change everything, i swear.
