Incredible growth. just goes to show how little we needed to be in Reddit.
For reference: https://browse.feddit.de/
Neat. I tried getting into fediverse a couple time during the last 3 years and everytime I'd get bored after a day or two.
This time it feels different though. I never imagined there would be this much activity on here. We really oughta thank spez lmao
That's awesome! Honestly, the move away from Reddit is probably the best thing that could happen to our community. r/Piracy was always a few DMCAs away from not existing anymore. I'm not super familiar with how Lemmy works under the hood, but from what little I do understand, I think we're probably safer here.
Fundamentally the risk to the community is similar, all it takes is for an instance administrator to decide to nuke the community and there'll be nothing we can do about it. But unlike on Reddit, there's no single administrator that can nuke every piracy community. There will always be a piracy community somewhere on Lemmy, even if it isn't this one
The risk is significantly reduced if the instance its running on and the domain host is in a country that isnt legally obligated to honor DMCA takedowns. Wothout doing research, this instance likely is in a major country, and therefor not its permanent location because of this. but whats different than reddit is we have the capability to host the servers ourself where we want.
Once(if) its taken down, another instance can be run from a more friendly country and DMCA notices wont have any weight legally.
The only problem then would be popular home instances going excommunicado with the pirate instance like that bee one did recently
I'm assuming that the venn diagram of people willing to set up a seedbox overlaps near 100% with those willing to figure out the "fediverse"
If I had the money, I would. Alas, I'm a university student with no real source of income.
Pirates are used to migrating en masse
Dead site? Wheres the next one?
has been a part of piracy since it started
I was so glad to see that r/piracy moved here. Reddit's fucking anti-piracy policies hindered every discussion.
FUCK YOU SPEZ!
I wish a lot of the other subreddits staying dark had a plan like this too.
Yep, a lot of them are just missing the opportunity
Long live Lemmy and screw reddit
I think Lemmy has prospects to be even better than Reddit. Let's drink go it!
Fuck spez
Drastically smaller chance of things getting taken down here to boot. You'd practically have to get the host of your server up in arms, which is a lot harder to do than a grumpy Reddit admin pressing the ban button.
Posting from kbin. Just here to celebrate with y'all.
I am having a difficult time reaching kbin from lemmy but I'm glad it works better in reverse
If this place was to shutdown I think I'd be lost, hopefully we don't die down.
Good thing about the fediverse is that that's basiclly impossible lol
Community makes things grate, I believe in it, so let's go lemmy.
Funny, how this sub and post was displayed as the first one after completing my registration on kbin :'D
Nice, I just joined too and am already enjoying this community and the whole lemmy thing in general. Some weird stuff about it like instances defederating each other is new to me, but I think I can get used to posting more on here.
The defederation is similar to subs banning you if you are on other ones
That's amazing!
so glad i found you guys again !!!
Greetings from Kbin, get fucked /u/Spez.
I was always more of a lurkeron reddit, can I just say I´m glad that /Piracy is going to continue to exist in some form.
Hi all, just came over from Reddit. Nice to see that the community is continuing :) Feels like the piracy scene has been hit a few times now with Rarbg finishing and the API changes, I will carry my duty and try to share the word where the community is at! Perhaps this is just a good fresh start and people like oldfart will find a new better platform to share their treasures on. :)
god bless
Im still figuring all these things out but this is great news!
