Thank you for all your work. It sucks that there are people who would do shit like this. Please don’t forget to take care of yourselves as well.

The fact that there was no announcement before the banning of the communities is not great, but good on you for acknowledging that mistake.

It’s unfortunate that this action had to be done, but it’s also understandable. It’s not about what’s right or wrong, and it’s not even about whether there actually is any illegal content in these communities. It’s about the fact that the Big Entertainment Companies don’t care about the difference and see it ALL as bad, irregardless of whether it actually is illegal or not. If the admin team had a legal team and the financial security to fight back, then it wouldn’t be as much of an issue. But they’re not, they’re just a bunch of regular folks, so they’re being cautious and trying to pre-emptively prevent these problems from coming up, especially as Lemmy continues to grow every day.

The beauty of the Fediverse is that you can always switch instances or make an alt account.

It’s unfortunate, but it’s kinda understandable why they chose to do so. The admins are just a bunch of regular people, they may not have the financial security to risk the legal issues that could come from having any sort of piracy related content.

I guess I’ll just be using my alt acc for piracy stuff.

That’s a lovely house. Love the overgrowth-ness of all the ground floor plants and the plants on the roof.

Major Tech Companies: If it ain’t broke, we’ll break it, then provide the solution for a price.

Thanks for the resources. I’ve only just got into modded skyrim, and it’s kind of a lot. Unfortunately I started with the mods in the in-game launcher, but now want to transition to using other modded launchers for more variety. I’ve poked around a bit, and I’ve ended up with quite a mess. 😅 Hopefully these can help me sort out my mess and get the mods up and running.

While I think that we should rightly be very wary of Threads/Meta, I do also think that it is still too early to judge. It’s hard to accurately predict what will happen in the future given the relative youth of Lemmy and the Fediverse. (Admittedly, I’m also relatively new to the Fediverse, so what do I know?) Given Meta’s track record, we should be very aware of the possible red flags and make plans for possible future malicious actions, but for now I’m okay with waiting and watching.
