It is not okay to pirate just to resell to others. It is a huge red flag.
I pirate to save money and if industries are going to play hardball on making everything available.
Just because one outside source merges with another, doesn't mean you're a founder of the source that you've absorbed to. That'd be like saying Microsoft and Apple merged, so Steve Jobs is a founder of Microsoft. It doesn't work like that. He'd still be considered a founder of Apple.
That would be an honest shame. All of this fuss of moving over and for what? Just for that rush of a breeze of not being on Reddit? I wondered how many treated it as that, took a break from Reddit before hopping back onto Reddit expecting things to magically improve during the time they were gone for.
It's still a shitty place, people.
Decided it needed a subscription service.
He's always Xinnie the Pooh to me
Reddit - Shoots itself in the foot while decapitating the other because reasons
Twitter - Shoots itself in the foot and decapitates itself
Facebook/Instagram/Threads - Huge identity Crisis
Telegram - Sells itself out
What a world.
No I'm not because karma doesn't affect your account on Lemmy as it would on Reddit. I can still say and do whatever I want with no restriction because my account isn't tied to karma. Like if I had been downvoted enough, posting would be a pain because of karma limits. But, I'm not weighed down by that so downvotes don't really affect me.
What it does tell me, is just there being a group of spiteful people, presumably from Reddit and maybe a of Lemmy's own. That just have too much time on their hands and again, are toxic people who refuse to see that they themselves are what's toxic but they love to put the blame on anyone else.
This is just comedy gold. Like, Republicans have been spending time slashing down voters rights for BLACK PEOPLE and here we are knowing that there are black Republicans. Like, what the fuck is wrong with you?
I'm personally happy to discover that awkwardtheturtle is suspended from r/rant.
I always keep feeling like that bitch is responsible for some of the shit there. Plus, they manage way too many subreddits. As do some other mods still clinging on there.
They'll spy on you so long as there is a legal firm or so that is complaining about your pirating habits.
Use. A. VPN. For christ sakes.
Don't care, still won't use out of principle.
The US will welcome it with open arms. Because of course, America.
