No.

I’ve pointed this out on another account on this very community through KBin Social.

And I was talking about how lazy and entitled pirates across all ages have become overtime. That we were losing more and more sources that had withstood a long standing of time. And one moment everyone is going “RAH RAH! HYDRA! CUT ONE DOWN AND MORE COME UP!” but when we lose some of which that have yet to return or take it’s place, the attitude grows weak. Almost desperate.

And it’s due in part how most of the pirates just take and take, but never give back. On r/piracy and sometimes on here, people are making posts wondering where they can get free stuff and how they can get free stuff. They don’t care about the technicalities, they don’t care about the cause of piracy, they don’t care at all. It’s always “give me free shit, thanks, bye”. There are few pirates out there doing the work and it’s just so that these lazy and entitled pirates can just take and take.

But when we lose sources, they scatter away like cockroaches and all that they can think about is asking where it is that they can get free shit. It’s almost like consumerism but for free shit, it’s annoyingly disturbing. It’s not about wanting the new product, it’s about wanting the source to mooch off from.

I sadly predict in time that the whole hydra ideology will just simply become the way the Pirate Bay has become, just a symbol, but will it mean anything? It’ll be so if this whole trend continues and all generations are just as guilty to doing it.

It is stupid easy to get banned on that platform. There might as well be no rules posted there anymore.

Because all that you have to do is simply express an opinion that’ll hurt someone’s feel-feels and that’s just grounds enough to ban you over.

They’ll only have one rule and it’s “DON’T HURT MUH FEELINGS!”.

Yes I am racist. I’m racist to stupid fucks who deliberately twist contexts around to fit a projected narrative of theirs, you asshole.

You’re the one bringing the race into this, not me. This is simply a response. Let me remind you, since your braincells are in single digits, that this is a response to something you brought into the discussion that wasn’t otherwise warranted. Get a fucking clue.

Haha, you’re a fucking retard. Get a life.

Good on Discord. If these corporate cretins want pirates so bad, do the work themselves, not push others to do the dirty work.

It makes me wonder, just what are the rich old geezer and young rich hustlers going to do when the planet becomes uninhabitable due to this? Go to space? There’s no where to go and our technology is only good enough to get to the Moon and Mars. But there’s no where to really live that’s like Earth and the exoplanets we discovered, are beyond our reach.

So I am under the belief that these climate destroying rich people, just want to ruin things at the expense and survival of others.

It does. You aren’t looking. I always feel a sense that I am talking to people from other parts of the world. Moreso than anywhere’s else.

I want to say Middle-East, but that’s not fair because it’s a cluster of countries. It’s hard to pick just one though, because a lot of countries in the Middle-East are batshit insane and allow extremism to dictate how they run the country. Extremism of any degree is just a bad thing to have around. It is technically, though scholars may disagree, the birthplace of Terrorism as we know it today.

If you think this question is being asked too much, go and sit at AskReddit sometime. Count the many, many times you will see questions like ‘Why are you single?’ or "What would you do if someone gave you a million dollars?’ or similarly worded questions. They are posted by the hour, almost nonstop.

You get a question like mine like once in a few weeks or a month maybe. But you hadn’t seen anything until you check out AskReddit.

I think the Fediverse is the perfect platform for things like what you run. I also think at times how great the fediverse could be for those who’re mentally struggling. Just imagine, a decentralized platform where not only is it separated from the general network, but it’s an instance/server where people can feel safe and private. Also secure too.

You don’t get that feeling on Reddit. People are telling sensitive stories out there for all to see on Reddit and anywhere else. They’re unfortunately setting themselves up for the chance of anybody stumbling upon those tellings and could give them hell for it. Making them worse off than they already were.

You know, you actually hit the nail on the head in the context I had failed to articulate. Like yes the Fediverse does have some interesting communities, but they’re communities we expect of the fediverse to have that everyone else has. But, it does not have a dedicated Nostalgia community, it does not have AbruptChaos or anything else. Just the basics.

And I think if more people took on tasks like running the communities while educating people the benefits of the fediverse, then we can see a bit more growth. Because the point of the matter is if people are desperate for a Reddit alternative, they’re going to want to feel like they’re home. If there’s nothing here that’s going to help make them feel that, then they’re going to just stick to Reddit for better or worse.

You know a platform is big when like nearly all states of a country have their own subreddit and their own userbase. It’s like, that’s impact there.

It’s the same here, I check the front page and what do I see? Politics, politics, politics, a couple memes and maybe a news report that isn’t politics.

Oh yeah I’ve noticed this tone too with them. Like with one ad, one of the Mountain Dew ones, they tell you to ‘get off your ass’ and stop putting your playlist on repeat with party remixes. Their entire message is your life and lifestyle is nothing unless you drink their shitty product. Like fucking hell I’m going to now that you’re going to assume what my life is about and that I’m not smart enough to do anything else.

It’s that kind of attitude that won’t make me boycott the product, but directly go to any marketer to personally tell them off.

I don’t care what your skin color is and you’re the one bringing it up. Anybody from all walks of an ethnic background can possess the same levels of less intelligence with potential to sound like that.

You know, just because you tried sounding tough at the end, I’m going to be a deliberate ass by saying - fix your dialect. It’s “I am working” not “I be working”.

Facebook has no anonymity though. So it’s different. You are sole responsible for who you allow yourself to add that now may know your real name.

I think people being assholes on FB with their real names makes filtering a hell of a lot easier.

Okay Consoomer.

Just assume almost everybody is an asshole online and you can’t be wrong. Because anonymity has granted them that capability.

I’m a faithful follower of never using your real name in social parts of the internet. We don’t need to know and we don’t want to know. The only ones who would want to know are scammers or people wanting to give you a shitty time. I only use my real name online for people and places in where it’s required like talking to agents from my bank, insurance .etc And very few friends know my real name through FB and the circle anyways.

Don’t send nudes online to anybody. I know of some communities where people happily are flaunting it one moment then they make a post later whining about them being exploited or that they thought they were crafty hiding the nudes from someone they’re married with. They delete it but they’re too naive to think that what’s already out there, has most likely been saved by hundreds by now, so you’re fucked either way.

Another is, is that if you want to be understood, then you need to use proper spelling and grammar. I miss the days when you got kicked at because you used ‘u’ in replacement of ‘you’. It’s just two fucking extra letters you lazy asshole. These days saying stupid shit like; ‘yah fr u tha fam’ is somehow a complete sentence. No, I’m going to give you shit for it and if you want me to bother caring with what you have to say, fucking make some sense. I don’t even get offended by insults when they’re poorly spelled, it just tells me what kind of an inept moron you are.

Ads should never have to be a source of income for anybody, in the same vein that paying for tips having to be a source of income.

The problem are the fat-cats hoarding all of the money so they can piss it away by flaunting and throwing down those millions so that we can suffer ads at their expense. That is a problem.

Millions are spent on marketing, that’s not a secret. You should sit down and think sometime, where those millions could’ve been spent on than just shoving ads and ads down our damn throats.

And we need to hold the people who allowed the company to break ground to provide us those utilities that lead to allowing us to pirate.

And soon we’ll have to pass so many ridiculous laws to where we mind as well just go back to relying on oil lanterns and telegraphs.
