Humans who run instances are real people who have jobs and mortgages and kids. I also like having piracy communities around to balance the greedy ass corporations trying to control media and copyright…I’m glad to know they are there if I need them or feel like screwing around with it. I just wonder if the people ranting all indignantly acting like instances are competing for their usership would feel the same if the most active instance was on a server physically sitting in their basement, or paid for by money tied to them in the real world. Yes it seems pretty unlikely that you’re ever going to run into issues with law enforcement, copyright claims, lawsuits…but how much would you risk for a fucking hobby you do for free? Would you risk your house? Your job? I would not. Grow up. No one cares what instance you use.
Why are you so mad that user are mad? These people made a new home (free of corporate oversight (fuck spez)) and now corporate bs is leaking in and we are pissed. Makes sense to me. Seeing the mods mock users asking questions is asinine. So I switched instances, which was mildly inconvenient.
Nobody gives a fuck about you kiddo missing the bus mate. Maybe keep it in your lane. Don’t post if your home life is so rocky that you sound like a chud.
Did you ever really believe everything were saying on here wasn’t already monitored by corps? If the threat of being sued is corporate BS then this place has been infiltrated since day 1.
Corporate bs lol that is deluded. My whole point is that the decision was made by regular people who make zero money from this for practical reasons that are reasonable. Letting off steam just because, don’t mean to make you feel attacked but fuck you too guy. There was no need to say that.
When the reason for defederating is because “we might get sued” it might be important to ask who is doing the suing.
Hint: it’s a corporation.
Edit: sorry if I hurt your feelings.
I gotcha I guess I misunderstood what you meant.
