It covers Apple/Google tax. They didn't want to have lower revenue on mobile or go the Spotify route.

Or limit copyright terms to ~20 years and repeal Section 1201 (together with 512 for good measure). That would cover far more than just old games.

Don't see a problem with it as long as they don't get copyright on the outputs of their AI. That would make enforcing any IP impossible on the internet because there's no way to prove it wasn't AI generated.

Legalizing immigrants means they can't get deported for fighting back or trying to quit. And having no choice is the #1 requirement for exploitation.

Do you think Ernest should run and develop this whole site out of his personal income?

Just let people build more housing. In most American cities it's either totally impossible or so expensive only millionaires and big real estate companies can afford it. There's no reason for a permitting process that takes 5 years or for single family zoning, other than homeowners self interest and racism.

Sort by hot (or new if hot doesn't work) instead of active.

It's their decision and you should respect that. I also don't agree with the defederation and the rest of their policies but you can just not use it. No need to turn this into a political conflict.

Some communities only exist on Reddit. There's nothing wrong with using it as long as you have an ad blocker and don't pay for premium or awards. I'd even say it's the right thing because you cost them money.

This gives me an idea. Make a federated torrent site. It would be practically impossible to take down and one instance going offline because they don't have money wouldn't destroy everything like in RARBG's case.
