Can someone tell me the reason why these people don't want to leave Reddit?
I tried to explain to one of these people Lemmy for piracy alone is easy, it's apparently more complicated to use, setup, or understamd than his current pirating methods or any methods he's ever done.
If it requires more than 4 button clicks and 10 minutes, you lose the lazy, disinterested, and unmotivated people.
Most people here are going to be pirates who were burned CDs and jacked channels or people who were raised by people burned CDs and learned about pirate bay before geometry (hi), im sure this community will cause many to pick up pirating, unfortunately, I think the loss is due to people who havent truly explored the internet/computers and checked out what piracy is.
Wait until reddit kills the piracy forums outright, they are going for an IPO, they will either clean house right before, or shortly after going public, pirates that want simple info will pay Netflix/Hulu, the ones who get more motivated will remember or find Lemmy.

First person I've seen actually go negative on Lemmy, good reason too.
You might be part of the reason behind their defederation with your vocabulary.

As someone who used reddits app for a bit on apple and Android, the apple version felt like a special kind of shitty.
Apollo was really clean too.
Joey was my shit though, hope he makes one for Lemmy.

Should we ban scat fetish?
Reply in thread
My favorite instance admin for a reason.
It's not everyone's cup of tea or even most people's, but neither are dicks for most browsing this instance, some still want those around and it's more than understandable, I don't like em, someone is super excited about it though. They probably aren't into titties, I like titties. Id be shitty if they tried to ban titties.
Unless it's illegal or genuinely traumatic seems dumb to ban it, especially considering the first big announcement he made was legally dubious in some areas.
Personally I'd recommend replacing scat with titties or ass and vote thinking if that was on the chopping block. this isn't a do you like question, this is a purge question. lemmynsfwspecialkinks seems wayyyy too long for an instance name imo let's stop this train before it starts and someone gotta make that instance.

Many of them are trying to play an algorithm and retain consistent views to have a semi consistent salary.
You could do the willy nilly approach but a lot of people struggle to manage bulk amounts of short term money long term.

Defederate lemmynsfw.com?

Also worth pointing out in crimes of this manner intent also matters in many places.
If someone sends you that shit out of the blue, or you scroll by it while browsing the internet, there wasn't a damn thing you could do. If you saved the image now we have a problem, ideally you take steps to ensure you won't see that image or anything like it again but I don't even think that would be legally required in alot of places...

Yeah so far Lemmy has been pretty chill, I havent even felt the urge to call someone a dumb fuck yet and I've seen some dumb shit already.
Something about the way everyone else talks makes it a far more friendly atmosphere. Most people here are open and encouraging, on Reddit people were trying to defend their overflowing karma pile with a spoon, extreme violence of action was common because there was more karma to be gained than being civil (more people checkout a big fight than 2 people making up over a disagreement).
On lemmy, votes don't really matter beyond the discussion at hand, and have yet to see a comment/thread actually go negative, seems like not keeping score makes everyone friendlier.

Can you give us a quick ELI5 on that?
I'm not familiar but I thought as long as you weren't producing, looking for, or storing, you were good.
Also if you are based in us and host in let's say Afghanistan does it still apply? (This is just curiosity without wanting to read and understand pounds of legal jargon, if it's too annoying to explain dw bout it)

Wow, just wow "Hey /r/piracy. Reddit admins de-modded the captain and put a sword to the mod-team's necks to re-open. It seems they really demand valuable input from pirates...."

Plus if the government got overzealous direct links could be trouble for any US based moderators despite where the sever is located.
Id imagine helping maintain and run an online forum that actively shares links directly to illegitimately obtained movies/games/etc. is against the rules somehow.

Ehh, they are trained to try and find as much shit as possible, they want to pull you out of the car and search it when they pull you over if they even remotely think you have illegal shit.
Most want to put you in cuffs instead of write a ticket or give you a warning.
Keep your car crystal clear in the passenger compartment, be white, kiss their boots, and they might not try to pull you outta the car and waste an hour, depends where your at and who you got.

Kind of concerning that looking for certain stuff is just fine, but I guess searching for narcotics is also perfectly legal.
One more question and I'll leave your expertise be, if someone ran this forum negligently and were in the US, got raided and found to be negligently hosting (received reports of) some revenge porn, snuff, and cp, what kind of charge/years are they going to get? Generic distribution charges? Distribution with some sort of modifier? Seems like something they would have a special charge for but I could see it just being distro.
Thank you for the immaculate reply/breakdown, top tier reply.

As the other commenter said rober has a schedule despite long gaps.
Stuff made here is a weird case, he both has to come up with ideas, and actually make them, if he were to do a constant feed like most others he would probably hurt his channel (either quality would go down or there would be room for more quantity at the same quality), and it's hard to predict exactly how long a project will take.
He's quite a smart man so managing money probably isn't a very big concern for him, his viewers also crave his pretty unique content so upon seeing he released more content, they watch it (also hes pretty good about keeping things ad friendly so YouTube has no problem recommending his videos to subs) so maintaining money/viewers isn't the issue.
The real issue for him is making sure he's still getting recommended by YouTube to new people despite his big gaps in uploads so he can grow more and do bigger and better projects that aren't repetitive to his core audience.
