Ok

That certainly is an opinion. Upvoted.

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.

You basically said what I meant by this post without being an asshole like I was

If I ran an instance and there was even a fraction of a percent of a chance I could get ruined financially by some media company whose lawyers have a slow day…I might either shut it down, turn it over to someone else, or take some possibly overly cautious steps such as…what we’re talking about. We wanted social media that isn’t controlled by corporations. We got it except uh oh that means we don’t have lawyers like Spez, Zuck, Elmo have piles of.

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

Gotcha.

Yeah I don’t get the discord thing.

An LLC registered with what government…Finland? Maybe a non profit would serve this purpose but then you have to have a board and meetings. Sounds like a lot of work.

Sorry, Mr. Roger

💯

Host one and see. It’s very likely that Viacom won’t sue the shit out of you…but what if they did. That’s all.

Ok. I’m cranky because my kid missed the bus today and work was stressful and it just reminds me how the dude who made world is also an unremarkable middle aged white man like myself. Someone has to be a grownup and pay the bills, that’s all, and if you are losing your mind over world blocking piracy then that someone most likely isn’t you.

I’m having the same thing when I log on using the website though. It logs you out after a few page loads.
