Very thoughtful post. I just wanted to thank you for writing it. I feel this much effort should be featured somewhere on its own.

Somedays I feel like a goddamn genius, and then somedays I feel like a goddamn scrub monkey. How can my MMR variate by 300, goddamn!

Sure, I just take issue that any of this means our instance is “Anarchist-individualist” and whatnot. We are accepting of non-anarchist users with the aim to educate and agitate, but our ethos, even when our stance on piracy or GenAI is involved, has always been communistic.

I’m an AnSyn as well though. I just disagree that taking the liberal approach of respecting monopolistic laws like copyrights and patents when it is to benefit the petit bourgeoisie has any revolutionary potential. Sure I agree that everyone deserves to live, and those who are affluent enough to support other workers should do so, but they should try to bypass exploiting capitalist practices whenever possible. Just funding a small studio, so that they can become a successful capitalist later on, is counter productive. Therefore, claiming that respecting liberal market culture is somehow more AnCom, is baffling to me.

And whatever you think culture is, it still encompasses the parts which are behind a paywall. And if someone doesn’t have money to access them, I fully support them pirating it instead.

We’re primarily AnComs. I am for sure. I also disagree with your take on piracy. I look at it from the perspective of the end user, and I don’t consider that anyone should be excluded from culture just for not being able to afford it.

Use the tesseract frontend . It will be handle universality links for you

That one is stale. Now it’s all pepes and wojaks and trollface has also gone all but extinct.

It’s not about respecting the privacy of a spambot. it’s about doing their job for them. The bot wants their links and their advert to be seen by as many eyeballs as possible. Guess what the OP just achieved? Blur all links next time.

Yes ok but you don’t need to be doing their job for them. Blur that shit.

As we’ve seen from the Trump admins, there’s never a shortage of bootlickers who would polish that boot for the smallest amount of power.

Oh right, I was thinking of the frontend which is soapbox

No, it’s another software but still apub.

Ok I will admit I chuckled at this

The admin Autism.Place just went Mia.

I’m easily forgotten :D

That might have something to do with you naming the instance after yourself 😅

The real reason was that early-on, I didn’t expect it to go very far and just used a subdomain on dbzer0.com which I’ve had for years. I now wish I had chosen a more catchy domain name, but alas :D

And thank you for your kind words (and donation)

and !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com !

Every trivial and throughless ban like that, creates another exile who becomes a regular on lemmy. This is a one-way street usually
