    Ayo I’m in the screenshot letsa fucking GOOOOOOOOOO-

    For context, Bungiefan_ak has no fewer than 4 alts that I’ve seen (all on different instances with the same username) and has spent his time on !memes@lemmy.ml continuously spamming heavily transphobic, homophobic, and objectifying sexist “memes”. Just about every one of his alts is now banned but I’m sure more will pop up.

    Now, why the fuck he cares so much about pirates at this point, I haven’t a clue…

      Still laughing at the vast amount of people coming from reddit and expecting only chill people to be on lemmy. Like lemmy users are somehow immune to toxicity.

      It’s less toxic overall but we (or mostly the moderators) will have to fight them all the time.

      At least it will improve the moderation tools which is always a good thing.

    Does anybody have the greentext that goes something like

    Pirate game

    Company loses $60 because it’s theft

    Company regains $60 after deleting game from hard drive

    Pirate one million copies, company bankrupt from massive theft

    Buy insolvent company for cheap

    Delete all game copies, company profitable again

    I genuinely do understand concerns about legal issues and the risk of facilitating illegal activities- but its not even hosted on their instance, why would it mater that the communities EXIST. They’re literally hosted by someone else…?

      But it is hosted on your home server.

      When you subscribe to a community, your home server downloads the content and passes it on to you.

      This is not like when The Pirate Bay was allowed to live because it only hosted torrent files and not copyrighted content, in the fediverse, you copy the content to your own server, and pass it on to the client/user, which means hosting the content.

        It’s a good thing that community doesn’t host anything illegal then. The argument doesn’t make sense because the community isn’t spreading copyrighted content.

        It’s like banning true crime communities because they discuss illegal things (gratuitous killing is pretty illegal in pretty much 99.9% of all cultures around the world - possibly 100%).
