Your setup is (was?) awesome but it’s not necessary these days. An online search for free media streaming sites and an ad-blocker (but of course) brings up sites with at least the same polish as Netflix (the only site i have experience with) and full 1080p. When i briefly used my sister’s Disney+ and my in-laws’ prime, it was noticeably worse than my favorite bookmarked free streaming sites, not to mention i needn’t wonder if the service owns all the seasons of the show i wish to see

Talk about missin the point bro. That point being “paid services are universally inferior to free ones even when excluding the variable of cost”

I’m of the belief that more people more opinions wether you agree or not with them is always better

Right on brother.

As to the second part, I guess i see what you’re saying. Reddit had its own hidey-holes and echo chambers where you could hear different opinions, not so different from here. Federation and defederation between instances act in much the same way (perhaps due to lemmys small size) as the effect as staying in a few niche subreddits. Traversing between instances is familiar, not too different than leaving your sub and scrolling /all.

Hmmm. Hmmm. I guess you’re right, at least the way i use(d) them.

Perhaps the only difference between them is reddit’s success and enshittified corporate rent-seeking. Those guys all sound the same and end up making a place same-y and sterilized

2011-12 is when i discovered reddit coincidentally. Oh no…

In my single year here I’ve seen what i consider some of federation’s limits. It’s still too easy to fed and defed their way to an echo chamber, which to me is it’s own type of toxicity.

But you’re right because the answer to that is multiple accounts, whereas in a centralized server there are fewer players dictating and therefore fewer options.

It may be selfish but i don’t want a reddit migration. I don’t hate redditors cuz i was one (ok i do hate em but only the regular hate redditors have for each other) but if this place became as popular as that one, it would bring with it the things i deliberately left behind.

Lemmy is great the way it is

Sounds like a business model to me. if i didn’t pirate everything i’d sign up anyway

Oh hooray! I had wondered if I’d hear from you again! What did you think? I would love to hear it

Well said. There is a difference between them, but as for me i truly separate the idea of “morality” from the buying and selling (or stealing) of goods. I don’t think it’s wrong, at all.

Stealing from your fellows is a separate issue.

There’s nothing morally wrong with the hypothetical concert goer in my opinion. Maybe my opinion is radical but i don’t think there’s any morality in buying things either.

Hell i’ll go a step further! I think unless you’re stealing from a fellow citizen take that shit bro/sis. Ill cheer you on.

Too much wage theft out there for me to give a fuck about some kid stealing a PlayStation from a walmart

I was going off this info, and was being a bit chicken little (but that position has been working for me LoL) Here’s that link

I got a reply from [email protected] further down that sounded like they knew more than me about the situation.

Im sticking to my deffedding for now, and I’ll wait to hear is the sky is falling from my tinfoil bunker

Hmm, no youre right that doesn’t sound respectful at all

Thanks for this context. I myself have been looking around for info and excepting old posts from months ago i have failed. Perhaps the dmca request is more because they are the largest and highest visibility then? Thanks again

I’m talking about the broader implications of meta integration being the possible driving force behind the multiple defederations, not specifically this, the latest, which would be included as part of a larger “cleanup”.

Hmmm I’ve heard lemon commies call tatertrot commies fake commies. Are you a lemon or marker?

Feels like .world is defedding from errybody. Eventually theyre gonna be like aol (or some other more recent, relevant walled garden).

Do y’all think this “cleaning up” has to do with their META threads integration?

nintendos shitty hardware is the only thing keeping me from buying their excellent games. I would rather buy a steam deck and deal with all the associated bullshit getting an emulator working rather than purchase nintendo’s terrible plastic shit.

i sound angry, but thats because i am. i love their games, would give them my money to play them. BUT NOT on crap hardware. never, ever again, nintendo.

harrrumph

You really can’t get mad over the last guy in the chain

Oh trust me, you can. It doesn’t do any good but you can. You can cultivate a deep and burning, passionate hatred. It gives you superpowers. I gained the superhuman ability to cope and seethe while housing rocky road
