Comment on PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world

Turns out finding a good lemmy instance is a huge pain in the ass. I started on lemmy.ml but it was full of tankies so I moved to lemmy.world now they banned piracy so I’m on lemm.ee which gets a lot of crap from tankies still, not as bad as lemmy.ml but it’s really fucking annoying. Like I’m not interested in Russian propaganda or how the soviet union’s genocide was justified actually, please give the user a way to block all tankies and nazies and stop blocking things globally for everyone.

You seem to worry a lot about “tankies,” yet you support piracy. You do know that capitalism is based on being able to produce a good or service and sell it to the highest bidder, right? Piracy is the opposite.

  Why would you think I like capitalism? Tankies are just authoritarians that like red, very little to do with socialism. Like if you’re a tankies why support piracy? It’s not like there’s a strongman who rules over all pirates with an iron fist.

  There is an essentially immeasurable difference between support for anarchy and support for coercive power structures. Marxist-Leninists hope to exchange one coercive power structure for another. It is little different from the imperialism it would hope to supplant. Piracy belongs to anarchy, not Marxism.

    Piracy wouldn’t even be possible if it wasn’t for the people who actually produce the product being pirated. Anarchy doesn’t produce anything but chaos.
    
    Is capitalism all great? Of course not, but it produced the foundation of piracy in the first place.

My friend self hosts an instance that we use. I’d recommend anyone with the ability to self host or join a smaller instance. Good luck friend!

Come to Lemmy.ca, even if you’re not Canadian. It’s been very stable so far, and the admins are nice.

  It looks really good but I’m quite hesitant to use a server in North America to discuss piracy. I’m looking into self-hosting at this point, that way I can defederate from who I want and it guaranteed my account won’t be gone because an instance shut down.

  I have nothing against Canada itself but it being a US core ally means it’s not safe for piracy.

again, this why i claim that lemmy is not the solution to the problem we are trying to solve.

So join one of the smaller instances rather than the big ones. The big ones have been around a while long before the Reddit exodus for a reason, and that reason is because the people that were kicked out of the likes of Reddit already (so there must have been pretty awful), and needed somewhere to go. Inevitably you’re going to find that when you use those instances, you have to put up with these prats.

Come to lemmy.ca so far I am satisfied.

  Aren’t they based in the US or canada? I would not talk piracy on a server hosted anywhere in North America.

    Hosted in Canada. Canada has far more protection for piracy (though not perfect) compared to the states.

We are all sorting down to our social placements. Perhaps you are infact a tankie! 🧐

Dbzero seemed good until they mentioned anarchism and anti-right-wing directives which means it’s a leftist-first instance and that’s a no-go even if I do support their cause.

You can make an account on an instance and not subscribe to any of the local communities if you want.

  Also it should goes without saying but if anything less than full control is undesirable for someone, it’s pretty trivial to spin up a personal instance.
