How many redditors do you want to piss off and quit your platform?

Spaz: Yes

Some people say piracy is theft and I'm just like: 🙄

Lemmy 17? We're on 0.18.0, buddy. 😆

I think if a instance owner decides to try to profit, it can happen. They could let advertisers have an account that promotes products and allow such posts to bypass community rules and disregard vote counts. You could theoretically profit from running a lemmy instance. But now your instance risks defederation and user might start leaving.

Edit: I think the smarter thing could be just asking for more donations than is needed to run the server, and pocket the excess funds. That could go on undetected as long as you falsify your operating costs to make it seem as if more funding is required. I mean I don't know if someone could actually make a living of asking for absurd amounts of donations.

I'm surprised he hasn't been imprisoned for copyright infringement. Using pirated schematics for a repair bussiness surely would've triggered law enforcement to shut him down, wouldn't it? Or is this somehow bypasses DMCA because of the first amendment? I don't know how laws work as I'm not a lawyer

Cat on the left looks like he's grinning at the death of reddit, while cat on the right is just sad that he'll have one less platform to post his photos to.

I think I'll be pirating until the economy gets better. And I don't mean wall street, I mean when the average person get paid enough to have extra money for entertainment stuff. Aint nobody gonna pay for a netflix subscription every month or $70 for a game that could still have bugs, people got food to buy, bills to pay.

You want less piracy? Simple. Just give people a higher quality of life.

Nooo You can't just chuck it in the ocean and call it water cooling!

Haha water goes splash

Lol fuck winrar. 7z is better, free and open source.

No no no... that's a cat cage now 😆

Ahh, it seems like I've mistaken the cause. Thank you for the info.

The secret ingredient is crime
