  • lemmy.world blocked the largest piracy community in all of lemmy

    Jump

  • lemmy.world rule 1:

    No illegal content, including sharing copyrighted material

    c/[email protected] rule 3:

    Don’t request or link to specific pirated titles

    So c/[email protected] doesn't even break that rule. It's for discussion. Unless you take a very broad reading of not allowing the sharing of resources that could be used to pirate copyrighted material, but that's not an issue anywhere else

  • No illegal content, including sharing copyrighted material without the explicit permission of the owner(s).

    The problem is this is still pretty vague. The communities that were blocked weren't sharing copyrighted material, but resources for finding and sharing said material. You might think this is being overly literal but I'm pretty sure it's the same loophole that allows reddit to host r/piracy without getting into legal trouble.

    On the other hand, if we take this rule at face value it could be interpreted as not allowing the sharing of any kind of content without the express permission of the creators.

    So it's not an issue of people being lazy or ignorant, but overly broad/vague rules

  • Maybe you shouldn’t even have had your account on the largest server to begin with?

    Some of us made our accounts on lemmy.world within a week(?) of its creation when it was tiny (June 5 for me). Doesn't stop it from belonging on mildly infuriating

  • Graffiti's quality of art and sentiment has fallen in the modern era

    Jump

  • It all depends on context, imo. People should generally leave other people's private property alone. But if it's an ugly cinderblock wall downtown, some kind of drab piece of infrastructure, and the graffiti artist is actually making an effort to make it look good - it can be public art

  • Where are you? Can you move?

    Jump

  • If you're going to break it down that far, why stop? Your "self" is not your central nervous system, but a portion of it - and not a very large one. It's your consciousness. Most of what your nervous system does is not conscious.

    Your self (and mine) are but a small portion of a single organ in a large network of organs and tissues and cells and bacteria. We developed because it was advantageous for our bodies - which predate our consciousness - to have pilots. We are periphery. We are a single part of an ecosystem. And definitely not the center of it

  • What are some conspiracy theories you absolutely believe to be true?

  • I have a huge problem with the Americans and Brits for this, they marginalise the fuck out if our dialect, make fun of it for being unitelligible

    I mean I know you're talking about the wider world and not just this thread, but you started the conversation by being disingenuous about Americans and their dialects. It's kind of hard for people to take "I have a legitimate dialect" seriously when you just got done trashing half a continent's worth of dialects

    Maybe if we all broach the topic with a little more understanding, you and everyone will feel better about it. For example Appalachian English and Northern Ireland English are both dialects with their own rules of pronunciation and grammar. They're both legitimate. But it's not surprising they'd have trouble understanding each other because they have so little interaction. But with patience and mutual respect it can happen

  • It was a joke dude

  • OMG

    Jump

  • Seriously what the hell is going on in this thread. Think everyone should take a deep breath and realize that we all make mistakes and inconvenience each other sometimes, but most of us will also correct our mistake if it's brought to our attention

  • OMG

    Jump

  • Usually a polite ‘excuse me’ does the trick but some people actively pick a fight upon hearing that phrase.

    Win-win situation. Either they step aside and apologize (only ever had this one happen), or they get rude and I get to unload all my pent up rage on some unsuspecting civilian without feeling bad about it. Like free therapy

  • OMG

    Jump

  • It's hilarious that you're downvoted because asking them to move has never failed in my experience. Given I'm in the Midwest and there's the whole "Midwestern sensibility" stereotype, but I don't think anyone here is different from anywhere else.

    Most people who do this either don't think about the fact they're blocking the whole aisle or they don't realize you want through. A simple excuse me will let them know

  • After migrating from Reddit, it’s jarring that comment sections aren’t cluttered with hashtag-style comments that are just links to subreddits like /HoLuP/

  • I could tolerate almost every redditism if it weren't for the belittling, argumentative, and self-righteous tones that permeated every front page discussion

  • At least lemmy has lots of mirrored communities so if one starts to suck you can go to a smaller one with the same topic

  • What is a good hobby for a depressed person?

    Jump

  • Yes! I struggle to motivate myself to stick with hobbies. I love photography, making art, writing - but often the motivation is just lacking. But cooking? I'm biologically motivated to cook (most days) so it's easy to keep up with. All I have to do is save recipes and plan ahead just a little

  • Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes?

    Jump

  • Are you me? Pretty much the same story. Still a lot of nostalgia for that movie.

    As I understand it a lot of Godzilla fans mainly hate it because it diverges so much from traditional Godzilla. Which I get but what a lame reason to hate a movie

  • That scene at Medieval Times when Carrey does that great rendition of the fight music from Star Trek.

    It's always been interesting to me how relevant movies from the 90s and early 2000s make Star Trek seem at that time. Cable Guy and Wayne's World both come to mind as movies that make multiple, occasionally obscure Trek references. I was born in 96 and watch a fair amount of Trek but it just doesn't feel as relevant in my generation :/
