Oh, so google has adopted the Microsoft strategy.

Strange, Id think their monopoly would be considered natural if they just let Firefox collapse and didn’t buy out dying/barely competing companies.

How does that work exactly?

Like they are direct competitors no? Wouldn’t Mozilla be motivated to fuck google as hard as possible?

I tried to explain to one of these people Lemmy for piracy alone is easy, it’s apparently more complicated to use, setup, or understamd than his current pirating methods or any methods he’s ever done.

If it requires more than 4 button clicks and 10 minutes, you lose the lazy, disinterested, and unmotivated people.

Most people here are going to be pirates who were burned CDs and jacked channels or people who were raised by people burned CDs and learned about pirate bay before geometry (hi), im sure this community will cause many to pick up pirating, unfortunately, I think the loss is due to people who havent truly explored the internet/computers and checked out what piracy is.

Wait until reddit kills the piracy forums outright, they are going for an IPO, they will either clean house right before, or shortly after going public, pirates that want simple info will pay Netflix/Hulu, the ones who get more motivated will remember or find Lemmy.

If you’re doing the snowden shit your best covering your entire face and going to a local Starbucks with a tails laptop, dumping every file at once, and ditching the laptop.

Still just get out of the country and upload then.

Plus if the government got overzealous direct links could be trouble for any US based moderators despite where the sever is located.

Id imagine helping maintain and run an online forum that actively shares links directly to illegitimately obtained movies/games/etc. is against the rules somehow.

First person I’ve seen actually go negative on Lemmy, good reason too.

You might be part of the reason behind their defederation with your vocabulary.

Got through all of that to play with a friend cuz we played the beta together and thought it would be promising

We were so disappointed we spent less time playing together than we did on the initial text/cutscenes.
