Ok fuck you gatekeeper
69am i the only one that's confused about what he's gatekeeping? I've been looking at this post for about 5 minutes now, and i literally cannot figure it out
or maybe im just going crazy idk
5I left Reddit because of the API changes
I left Lemmy because it’s full of terrible memes and content
1But…

I'm not looking to be the same. I'm not looking to be anything. Just discovering (and so far) enjoying the alternative I wish I knew about a long time ago. Thanks for the warm welcome! /s
29Share the piracy 🤔
25I left because the culture, trolling, and astroturfing got to be too much and the exodus meant Lemmy would have enough userbase to fit my usecase.
11Mhhhh you don't like Astolfo?

6Your user activity is far more public here.
5Piracy not privacy. I thought the same thing too honestly
26Yup, that is it.

True and real
5That's terrible. Where are these piracy groups so I can stay away? Which ones in particular?

4I like to say I left in protest but honestly I got perama banned, it's been coming for a while because I was still act like Reddit was old Reddit.
But ima just keep telling people it was in protest
4Heave-ho, thieves and beggars
4Never shall we die!

Look at that door, dude. See that door there? The one marked "Pirate"?
1Its the same issue. While wining about all the profitable 3rd party apps, Reddit killed off all the non-profit open source 3rd party apps without user tracking as well.
1He says, posting it to a meme channel based on Malaysian Lemmy instance.
Sorry dude, but you don't seem to care about privacy that much.

Well, nobody ever said Pirates cannot be horrible cunts, so there we have it, le proof :-)
-5Pirates, thinking they’re on the moral high ground. Lol
-13The nice thing about pirates is that they keep the cost of media down. The streaming services we have today wouldn't exist if not for all the rampant piracy of the 90s and 2000s.
17Enjoy buying things tied to an online account which the platform can arbitrary ban at anytime with no legal recourse. When corporations fuck with paying customers, that's what they get. Why would anyone want to pay for something when the experience for paying is worse than if you just pirated? (rhetorical question, please don't answer)
6That’s quite an anecdotal pile of verbal nonsense there bud. I’m guessing you’re bitter about a very specific company’s ways of releasing their product?
Hers some helpful advice: If you don’t like who makes it- don’t buy it. It works wonders for me.
Do you understand that piracy has caused a majority of the problems we face with digital media nowadays, the least being rising costs. (Rhetorical question, please don’t answer)
