It exists and people hate it. If you want reddit go to reddit.

I’ve been enjoying Chris Edwards Restoration recently. He works on a lot of old Amigas.

It’s almost like if they want people to not hate their country they should stop being a corrupt authoritarian hellhole

They’re right here on the threadiverse

Yeah, nowhere near the size of reddit, but who wants that? Easier to have discussions without bazillions of people posting crap like “works for me” or being dicks.

I don’t really trust other alternatives. Being unfederated, they rely on a closed source solution maintained by a single person or very small group of people. There’s nothing in place if the plugs ever get pulled, everything is lost and like reddit, whose to say these owners won’t turn their website slowly into the cesspit reddit is?

Yeah, an instance owner of lemmy/kbin could theoretically pull the plug on their instance or enshitify it, but you can just switch to a different instance and keep accessing the content you were.

You cannot steal what is not physical. Theft implies removing a physical object from somewhere, creating a loss of an item.

Digital information is 1s and 0s, and you just create a copy. You do not remove the original one. There is no theft taking place.

The value of a product does not go down because I didn’t pay for it. If anything, if it’s a quality product, the value goes up. If I pirate something and enjoy it, chances are I will pay for it when I can afford to. If I pirate something and don’t enjoy it, well, I wasn’t going to buy the product anyway so there’s no loss. Let’s say I watch a movie at a friend’s house and absolutely hate it. I do not buy the movie. How is that different than pirating it and coming to the same conclusion? I see the movie without paying money.

Yes and no

YOU ARE ALL WEAK, YOU ARE ALL BLEEDERS!

Yeah, stuff like crossposting is one thing. People do it across communities and subreddits, so may as well post stuff on both sites so you can get inputs from both userbases.

But the automatic copying stuff is too much. I blocked the lemmit bot almost as soon as it showed up because it became almost impossible to not see content that was being copied over by it.

Gotta feed that nostalgia now and then. Gotta say though

Dirt and worms for dinner 🤤

Brazil is one of my favourite movies. AFAIK it’s not based on a book. It is frequently compared to 1984, but it’s not based on it. Just similar themes of a totalitarian dystopia.

I’m an AI chat bot.

At least I might be.

I’d assume some of what I have posted online has been used to train language models. That could probably said for all of us.

So when you think about it, we all have a bit of AI chat bot in us :)

Can vouch for smoke buddies. Not a bad price and works better than a makeshift sploof. Not bulletproof but works well enough.
