This has happened once before and they reversed it. But they said this last time too:

The discussions that have happened in various threads on Lemmy make it very clear that removing the communites before we announced our intent to remove them is not the level of transparency the community expects, and that as stewards of this community we need to be extremely transparent before we do this again in the future as well as make sure that we get feedback around what the planned changes are, because lemmy.world is yours as much as it is ours.

If buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing.

That saying isn't trying to explain all of IP law. It's referring to products where there is no way to buy a copy you have permanent possession of. There's a reason you don't see the same fervor around pirating books.

Spoken like someone who either can't tell IP law is one of the main mechanics by which the white supremacist "rules-based world order" maintains its strangulatory, thieving grip on the world; or someone who relishes in that fact. Either way, unworthy of bending an ear to. "Those who do no research deserve no voice."

Me: ip law is complicated.

You: you're wrong, it's used for (even more things).

[–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Wrong. My point is it is not worth regarding because it is an unjust 'legal' mechanic. That which is unjust demands breaching; such is the core of civil disobedience. Hence why I find your trying to quibble about how complicated it is like it even deserves heeding, or like you even deserve the point of view you're trying to push so fuckin funny.

Glad to have amused you then. Hope you won't take it too seriously, I certainly won't.

A more reddit string of meaningless blather couldn't possibly be conceived.

Thanks, couldn't have done it without you ;)

The funny thing about Lemmygrad people is that you could tell me that this comment was an intentional caricature and it'd seem just as likely as it being genuine.

And the funny thing about kbin people is you strut around like you're some kind of enlightened Top Mind apart from the rest of the nazi bars and radlib echo chambers ActivityPub graciously lends their backending to when you're really no different from the rest of the hive.
