I completely agree with you but would go one step further - piracy is not only "not immoral", it is ethically necessary. Without piracy the hard work people have put into their creations (e.g. for the Nintendo WiiU/3DS) could vanish at the whim of one small group of people (in this example, Nintendo C-level execs). Of course there are other reasons too. But this alone is sufficient IMHO.
I know exactly what you mean. But as I started to read, for a moment I thought you were talking about dental floss, and I was thinking "When are you ever going to need that for something important‽"
Good idea! Also, it's not always about boasting - putting things into words makes it easier for certain kinds of brain to process them. For some people, the act of leaving snoosite isn't enough to fully internalise it, they need to say goodbye. Which is fine, btw. :)
Joke's on you, I've never made a meme specifically to post here. I just post my most recent one when I visit, as per the rule. It just so happens I make a buttload of trash-tier memes.
Technically yes. Due to the way Lemmy works, there are no Lemmy-wide terms of service.
HOWEVER
You would need to find an instance whose admins are willing to host that discussion. Otherwise you'd find yourself banned fairly swiftly as J. Random Admin wouldn't want to touch it with a barge pole. You would also find that instance eventually gets defederated.
No, they aren't blocked. You can verify this for yourself by visiting https://lemmy.world/instances and searching for the text "lemmy.ml" (left column means they're connected, right column means they're blocked, not appearing means the lemmy.world server doesn't know that lemmy.ml exists)
You can also visit https://lemmy.ml/instances and search for the text "lemmy.world" just to check the block isn't happening the other way around.
I agree with others that what's happening is likely to be an issue caused by the vast number of new users that are joining Lemmy over the past few weeks (myself included!) - give it time, things will settle down. :)
Clearly!
