The actual blockers were fixed in the first couple days, if not hours. We are now at beta 23 within just 10 days since the internal testing began, lj has been working like a madman.
14 years primary account, 11 years alt. Mod in several >1 million communities.
Deleted everything, replaced my comments (>15k total) and posts (>500, including announcements on subs moderated) with a message stating my reasons, and then deleted both accounts. Plus 4 alts I sparsely used, between 3-8 years old.
IMHO whenever you actively need something and the owner either doesn't make it available or the price is prohibitively expensive, it's justified. That especially includes papers, books and other tuition material that's been paywalled or made expensive as hell without any actual reason, even more so if the author gets next to no compensation.
Downloading series and movies that aren't being streamed anymore, by all means.
When it comes to current movies, it depends on what's available. Unfortunately most streaming platforms don't have Chinese subtitles, and my wife often struggles to fully follow the original audio and the English subs often disappear too quickly.
For software, my personal stance is that if you use something every once in a while, pirate away. If you use it regularly and/or generate income from it, then pay your dues.
Die Züge in Tschechien sind der Wahnsinn. Bin von Prag aus im Schlafwagen zu meiner Schwester nach Österreich gefahren, Einzelkabine, Abendessen und Frühstück inklusive, 22 Euro, gratis (schnelles!) Internet on board. Hat sogar für Netflix gereicht.
In DE versuche ich die Bahn zu meiden so gut es geht, so ein Drecksverein...
Grundsätzlich fliege ich am liebsten. Alles was >500km ist wird gar nicht groß nach Alternativen geguckt, 200-500km vergleiche ich Flug und Zug, darunter fahre ich selbst.
Finally managed to add it to the sidebar. You're a champ!
I've been trying to edit it with my primary account on another instance (only set this one up because I wanted the community on the German instance) and it's crashing. Apparently there is a known bug with lemmy 0.17.4 and sidebar editing by a foreign-instance-mod.
Oh no worries, the workload over here is more than manageable. And yep I'm still checking the situation over on reddit, the fallout looks magnificent ;-)
Looks like I'm not the only one who dropped part of their username when moving over :-)
Btw., I'm happy to mod everyone from the reddit team, if you want? Just created the community here when I noticed it didn't exist yet, just to make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
I'm not much of a developer unfortunately, and there's no automod right here... Nor is there a wiki system. But I'm sure that will come over time. Until then we'll just have to make do with an off-site wiki somehwere.

Ultra is another subscription with different benefits altogether.
Adfree is the regular pro version, which is way cheaper. Make sure you double check before you recommend pirating software.
