“Unremoval of Piracy Communities” https://lemmy.world/post/6018317

This post needs to be updated to reflect the current policy.

Six months later, a new Removal of piracy communities announcement confirmed that these communities had been removed. !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which was the most popular piracy community, is still inaccessible to lemmy.world users. This is misleading: users see the old post, sign-up, and then find out they cannot access the community.

Please edit the original post to include the new removal announcement.

    Oh wait…. Shit, sorry.

      Hi, I am from an instance no one ever seems to talk about and when reading these kinds of threads I am glad I made that choice. 😁

          Every single user I’ve seen from that instance wants to remain relatively unknown, like they’ve got something to hide.

                We all are, lol. Text with no conveyance of emotion sure is fun and never leads to arguments, ever!

                Actually, I’m starting to think that sarcasm on the internet may be the problem…🤔

                  Text truly is a difficult medium. It doesn’t help that many statements that would have definitely been sarcasm a couple of decades ago are legitimately said by fascists these days.

                  I’ve been on the internet since 1994, and I was on BBSes before that from 1987, so that along with my ADHD means I tend to over-use emoticons to indicate the light-hearted tone of most of the things I write. heh.

                  Also I also overuse “lol” and “heh” and “meh” for those purposes, too.

                  I know some rail against the usage of “/s”, but really, it’s no bad thing. Sure it may identify some jokes that the author intended to be subtle, but in the days where these things are said by some people… it’s just necessary, alas.

                    Yup, you sound exactly like me! I think others can be put off because of the things you highlighted, which I also overuse. I’d rather come off as jovial in my writing than mean or angry. If that means I gotta use old school ASCII faces, I’ll overuse the shit out them! ;)

        To be fair to others less knowledgeable, I’ve seen first hand someone admitting they joined .ml because it was the first/largest server they learned about, not knowing it was a marxist-leninist joint, and they were asking how to transfer their account up on outta there. That was a fun thread lol

        My point is, just like we can’t judge people based on their national origin, we shouldn’t judge people from their home instance. But as a general rule, yeah .ml reeks lol

          I agree but think its also different depending on context.

          Like if someone has thousands of contributions and their account is 6 months + old. Hell yeah I can judge them on the instance they use. Because they have had plenty of time and opportunity to learn and change.

          A new user on the otherhand. I won’t.

          I myself have both a defunct world and ML account from a long time ago when I first joined the threadiverse.

        In case you aren’t aware, there is a comment chain below the first reply to your comment that adds some light-hearted teasing to your reply. Nothing but love for our German lemmings! ❤️

        As nice as those anticommercial ideals are, I generally just see shills that enjoy downplaying Russia’s invasion and justifying Iran’s mass-murdering of protesters out of .ml. Some really, really bizarre cyberstalking weirdos too.

        Might be survivorship bias because only the assholes get noticed, but .ml has a pretty shitty reputation because of them.

          From your post on YPTB https://lemmy.ml/post/43198332, I think you’re tend to misinterpret things. Even people from .world pointed it out.

        That wall of text could be summarized as “but what about the other guys” without addressing a single criticism.
