  • They might not. But then, most people aren't going to do things that violate the IP rights in the first place, so they'd be willingly giving up sales.

    And they're welcome to do so.

    Most of the decision makers for those businesses voted for this. Let them suffer for it. Forever, if possible.

  • Trump wants us to kiss the ring, and his puppeteers want to break NATO. That's all that's going on here. There's no grand plan. There's just "satisfy the narcissist's ego" and "destroy the military alliance threatening Russia".

  • We have to stop sending end users to software solutions for web admins. We don't send them yo "nginx" or "apache", after all.

    Someone throw up a website using this software and give the site a sensible name, and then direct users to that website.

  • We can stop sucking the US's dick without replacing it with Russia's, China's, or... North fucking Korea's?

    Seriously, making hating the US your whole personality doesn't make the fake communists a) worthwhile or b) communists.

  • Free speech means the government can't sanction you for unpopular speech. It says absolutely nothing about private citizens.

    You're not entitled to an audience, or to anybody else's platform.

  • Pick a smaller, focused website and focus on Local. Then you can ignore what's going on elsewhere.

    Lemmy isn't a community, it's a technology. And ActivityPub is madw with the goal of letting anyone and everyone use it and participate. Just like HTTP. Griping because "the wrong kind of people are showing up" is the kind of thing the wrong kind of people do.

    You don't get to build your gate in the public square.

  • Rewarding the employer for underpaying the employees is not, in any way, the right direction, though? Not tipping is just telling the employees "I don't care if you get paid, so long as I get what I want"

  • The social network that hides your mutuals worse than YouTube hides your subscribed content, and which explicitly and openly advertises first party bot accounts as a feature is what you consider the "best social network"?

    What's the worst? Your actual friends and family?

  • I mean, there's limited content, and Lemmy hasn't attracted the same kind of personality as modern Reddit. It makes total sense that things would be upvoted quickly, but comments would be sparse or short.

    People patted themselves on the back when they showed up for being "old reddit" and "power users", but most of us were just cranky phone users who didn't want to use the official app. Lemmy users are not the boistrous, verbose philosophers people wanted to believe they were.

    We're scrollers, sitting on the toilet.

  • Well, the different "instances" are different websites, each hosting and serving their own copy of the original post and comments. You're interacting with your local copy, and your comments are forwarded along to the original website. The original website then sends out copies of your comment to all the other websites that have requested updates.

    If your website has banned someone, it will reject content from that user. That's what being banned means: I refuse to host your posts. Just because your posts are being routed through a 3rd party doesn't mean I want to host them.

    Like, if you got banned from Reddit, they wouldn't let you post there, either. If you commented on a mirror of a post, hosted on a different website, you wouldn't expect that comment to show up on Resdit, would you? Well, that's what the fediverse is: a network of content mirrors. Yes, they're mirrors that, generally, tey to synchronize with each other, but they're still mirrors. And independent mirrors at that.

    They will never be perfectly synchronized. There's no true Lemmy to reflect. No whole. There is only what is locally hosted.

  • And it's going to be functionally all Canadians who are living near or below the poverty line. You can't afford enough carbon to pay more in tax than you get back in rebate if you're not rich enough to be irresponsible.
