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.

    They are free to defederate but prople have the right to voice their opinions.

    That is not spoiled teenagers.

      You may not have much experience with spoiled teenagers.

      Voicing ones opinion without regard for the people involved, just because they’re allowed to have one, is pretty much the spoiled teenager MO. Just like not realizing this goes both ways.

      dbzer0 hasn’t been defederated. Only the communities inside dbzer0 that actively engage in piracy support have been blocked.

      “I’m DELETING my lemmyworld account!” To me sounds teenagery because it seems like the person doesn’t understand how anything works…legally, financially, etc
