  • What's the issue exactly? People pirate for different reasons. We get it, you pirate because you feel like it. You do you. Some people pirate because they can't afford it, or something isn't legally available in their area, or as a protest about greedflation, etc. The high seas welcome all sailors, whatever their motivations, so long as they don't harass their fellow pirates.

    By the way, these comments are fucking hilarious guys.

  • Just a quick update, lemmy.world has posted an update that explains their decision here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/16795373

    TLDR is that the person who removed the community is fairly new to the mod team and didn't realize there was a bit of a history to this situation. Also, looks like they are sticking with the decision this time around though.

    Please don't harass the lemmy.world admins/mods though - if you don't like the situation you are free to register here or on another instance. And if you aren't a lemmy.world user, then this doesn't affect you at all.

    I'm proud of our community here, and it's their loss, not ours!

    • updated the link
  • Well at least they honored their commitments /s

  • It's not free of corporatist behaviour though, especially on the large instances. This is a classic example. I guess at least people can vote with their feet, and still stay on the fediverse.

  • New crewmates are always welcome!

  • Yeah it's a bit of an issue on that page, especially the hyperlink color. @RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com any chance you could finesse the CSS on that?

  • Well that was an entertaining read! Thanks for all your efforts to keep our instance running smoothly. I have noticed it seems a bit snappier since you fixed the problem.

  • You can absolutely criticize his conviction. It's exactly this level of conviction that precipitated this tragic conflict in the first place. Hamas is convinced killing Israelis is the solution to their problems. They did something about it. Israel is convinced killing Palestinians is the solution to their problems. They did something about it. This guy was convinced killing himself is the answer. He did something about it. Cheering on any of these murderous, extremist asshats for having the courage of their convictions is woefully misguided.

  • Hmm, I think you are right about those icons. I've just tweaked the layout slightly to make it more obvious what they represent with a text link underneath each one. Hopefully that'll help others figure it out.

  • I agree with you there. Piracy for profit never seems to attract the most virtuous of characters. Not-for-profit piracy for the people, as a weapon in the fight against oligarchy and enshittification - this is the way.

  • Yep - those jobs are going to be lost because of Tyler Perry seeing an opportunity to reduce production costs, not because of AI. Nobody is forcing him to use AI. It's just classic corporate greed where he is happy to trade [other people's] jobs for more profit. Sure, AI is enabling him to do this, but it's greed that's guiding his decision making here.

  • This post is 4 months old my dude. Maybe the problem is that you don't know how to filter your feed?
