Who cares who cares?

Is fitgirl even a girl?

It wouldn’t have to be tested in court.

Does .world host content from db0? No. It just connects to it via a common protocol.

They are lying to your face if they say it’s because of ‘legal reasons.’ And a lot of you are stupid enough to take their word at face value.

They’re worried about legal troubles I think?

Bullshit. There are no legal troubles for them. Someone on their team doesn’t like piracy, so they try to stifle discussion about it.

Yeah, this is why users should get to decide which instances they get to see.

Let’s be our own moderators instead of relying on useful idiots to do it for us.

Do y’all think this “cleaning up” has to do with their META threads integration?

I think bad actors have infiltrated their admin team and are pushing their own agenda.

Lots of useful idiots want to ban discussion of piracy because it makes them realize how they’re getting ripped off.

Nobody wants to acknowledge how they’re being taken for a ride, especially useful idiots.

No, sorry.

I would just use 1337x, but I recognize that’s only appropriate if you have a VPN.

I don’t think it’s any scummier than charging for software you’ve already made millions of dollars (profit) off of.

But we agree to disagree with a lot of things.

Other people are your backups.

Sharing is caring.

Gross.

Glad I never relied on them, though. Their download process always seemed weird to me.

Lol. It’s sad watching people like you twist your brain in knots to avoid admitting when you’re being taken advantage of.

Spend your money how you want :P

Yeah, but they already got it.

How much is enough? Lol.

In your mind, nothing. There is no amount of money they can make off of a game that will have you say “it’s okay to pirate it now.”

Someone’s always going to be liable, that’s unavoidable.

I’m just spitballing ideas for how we can always connect to the servers we want to.

@Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com hit the nail on the head. Self-hosting would be the end goal, but it’s too much of a hassle for most people to go through.

So a few servers that exist solely to connect with the fediverse would be ideal for those people.

I’m afraid of that, but hopefully there will be even more alternatives by then.

They already made money hand over fist.

I guarantee they are richer than you will ever be.

No, not really.

Phones are best for emulating old games if you have a controller.

Otherwise, I’d just read a book on my phone than play a shitty game with touchscreen controls.

You can download any app hosted on the Google Play store from here: https://apkcombo.com/

we bullied the dev of the most accurate snes emu to suicide

To be fair, interacting with people on the internet is almost always a crapshoot for developers.

It’s why most of them don’t do it.

Yeah, just like when reddit changed their rules to ban DNM.

Such a waste.

Yeah, I was cool with sitting on lemmy.world until they did something that I wasn’t cool with.

I’m not loyal to them, or anyone else. The more choice, the better.

I think it’s fine to have a main instance, as long as that main instance isn’t gung-ho about censorship like lemmy.world has become.

Although I definitely agree with recommending against joining lemmy.world.

Such a shitty decision by biased mods and useful idiots. They deserve to lose power as a result.

I think a solution would be to have instances without communities.

It sucks, but I’m really trying to find instances with the most federation. I’d rather censor things myself than to have some useful idiot do it for me.

“Instance A blocked instance B, so now we have to use instance C to communicate with both.” Seems kind of roundabout, which is why I’m looking for the ‘ever-C’ instance that federates with the most.

I just left lemmy.world for lemmy.ca

Corporate cucks and their censors can go fuck themselves.

I’m done with that shit.
