Reddit has plenty of piracy communities, being more strict than reddit is is just unnecessary
Comment on PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world

I love these comments. It shows the federation is working. If reddit did this it was “oh no what now” but with lemmy it’s just “time to move to another instance”

They also had quite a few subs that got shut down due to copyright threats. Reddit can afford to fight multimillion dollar suits.

We should just move posting to reddit and have the lemmy instance in question only be links to reddit posts.

I feel a little better about it if lemmy provided migration tools.
It certainly not the end of the world but it is kind of a pain in the ass.

I love it. We will win in the end, against the corpos, they shall rule in Hell whilst we serve in Heaven

Normal people not wanted to put themselves in legal jeopardy doesn’t make them a “corpo”.

Uhhh I think you misunderstand the original quote
HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Not really, in seeking to gain power, they create something worthless by destroying what is valuable, but by working together, we create something glorious that none of us are really in charge of.

usually god, the ultimate authoritarian, is in charge of heaven. i’ll pass

I just don’t like the idea of having 500 accounts after it’s all said and done, especially if most of them wind up being unused… unless I’m fundamentally doing something wrong by creating a new account on every instance I want to use?
Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
You don’t need an account for every instance.
How it will mostly evolve in the future is that people will have one vanilla account, and if they want, one account for piracy and another for porn
dmmeyournudes@lemmy.world 1 year ago
you need an account to go to an instance that isn’t federated. this is the core flaw that makes this entire system unusable for normal people. you don’t want to have multiple accounts just so you can post the same memes in 12 different servers to get 1/40th the interaction you would get if everyone was centralized. this isn’t a discord server, its a link aggregator and decentralizing the aggregator is antithetical to making this service work.
Mane25@feddit.uk 1 year ago
Or just find an instance that has federation policies you agree with, you don’t need to post in every single instance - maybe some defederated because there were too many people posting the same shitty memes. And who needs 40x interaction? Reddit was too big, too many people competing for attention.

Idk, I like it
adrian783@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I mean you won’t, they way it’s going to shake out is instances with similar values form nation-states and cut ties with other nation-states they dont agree with
well probably see the emergence of meta-alliances soon that dictate the degree of separation of a blacklisted instance.

Oh so like the lunch tables in Mean Girls.
Countmacula@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I mean saying 500 is a little hyperbolic but this is exactly why federation exists and isn’t just another Reddit.
You find what you like and go there. It’s really no different than the old forums. Reddit centralized everything, lemmy is that but also the old way.

I just spun up my own instance and federate with whoever I want.
quicksand@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What kind of specs do you need to run a personal instance? I’d like to, but I don’t really want to invest in a bunch of computer stuff right now
redcalcium@lemmy.institute 1 year ago
Eh, as long as it can run Linux, >2gb of RAM, and >50GB of storage, even a raspberry pi can host Lemmy.
jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 1 year ago
I got the cheapest VPS from Hetzner which is around 5 EUR.
dmmeyournudes@lemmy.world 1 year ago
until your instance gets banned for being too small once the system reaches critical mass.
jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 1 year ago
Better than than now.

i have been on the mastodon side of the fedi since 2018
single user instances do not get defed’d out of nowhere. i’ve never seen that happen. now if you’re an asshole in a single user instance then maybe, but there isn’t anyone going “ooh i’m gonna defederate from this guy” without you provoking them in some way.
