Just make an account on a different instance. That’s a lot easier than making one of your own.
I’d recommend either Sh.itjust.works, sopuli.xyz, Lemmy.ca, or Lemmy.dbzer0.com.
Sopuli is primarily Finnish, and Lemmy.ca Canadian, but both state that they’re open and welcoming to all.
I’m on sh.itjust.works and it’s been great.
The problem is that these communities never linked to any form of illegal content. It’s against their rules to do so. So no laws were being broken.
…you realize there are dozens of other instances right? Nobody has to make another one lol, you can just join one of the others.
I want LW to remain a place for nuance and that recognizes the intricacies of topics.
I just physically cringed
Nobody’s linking anything
So what? Do people really care that much about Lemmy’s karma points? Making an account on a different instance is pretty much a non issue.
Whoa wait wtf, they blocked a mushroom community? I didn’t hear about that
Lemmy.ca users have been saying that anyone’s welcome, regardless of where they’re from. Sopuli.xyz is really solid too, and also welcomes everyone.
I’m on sh.it just.works and have enjoyed it a lot. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter a whole lot though, you can still join all the communities you did before. So which instance you choose isn’t a massive deal.
Believe it or not, I do respect their decision. After all, this is their instance and it’s their right to decide what to do with it.
This is also a complete overreaction started by a transphobic troll account, that doesn’t actually protect anyone from anything. Both can be true.
But again, they’re not even linking to any pirated content, torrents or otherwise.
Smart, might as well shut down this whole thread then as we’re discussing piracy here too, right?
What content? You mean the comments generally discussing piracy? Because there’s no actual pirated content being hosted, or even linked to, in that community.
Discussing piracy isn’t illegal. It would be one thing if they were hosting pirated content, but they don’t even link to anything.
If that were to change I’d understand the decision, but this just seems silly to me.
Yes, that’s why CP is banned. It being distributed and sold encourages the further making of it, thus leading to more instances of children being abused.
That’s actually a perfect analogy. Don’t eat hotdogs you’ve found on the ground.
Exactly this. I think the real problem is that “infinite” is virtually impossible to comprehend, so people regularly misunderstand what it means and how it works.
6600xt. Finally upgraded from my 980ti.
I’m open to being wrong, but I still think old shitty statues and stuff should be put in a museum or something. I think it’s important to preserve history, especially when it represents something bad. The Holocaust museum is a solid example, and imo is incredibly important.
I’d even say the same for the One Ring if there wasn’t the chance for someone to reclaim it and become all powerful. I mean is it even possible to contain it?
What? No dude, I’m pretty sure its coming out tomorrow
In other words, “laws = ethics when it suits my argument”.
What about prohibition?
Anti-abortion laws?
Laws against trans people?
