Don't sleep on Small Gods, it's incredibly good.

If those votes are important to him then Biden should earn them by not being complicit in a genocide. Maybe Biden is a Trump supporter by continuing to do so? After all if not voting for Biden is a vote for Trump, Biden doing genocide is also him voting for Trump.

Because odysee platforms them and it shows up in recommended videos, when searching for content and on the front page, along with bigotry. If you want to defend odysee some more do a search for 'jews' on it and see what you get.

The video itself is fine, but linking odysee when it's dominated by nazis, charlatan chiropractors pretending to be medical doctors, and all the rest that youtube won't allow on their platform probably due to racism isn't a good thing. A youtube alternative would be nice but not when it's composed of nazis.

It is never wrong to be a pirate.

My instance can still interact but I do get bad gateways going to their site directly and have to reload so your guess is as good as mine.

They defederated because they didn't want piracy discussions on their instance.

I think you missed the point.

I have had similar thoughts about early posts and upvotes and downvotes making people more unlikely to post even slightly differing opinions for fear of getting a negative number or something silly like that, but this seems like an issue with the platform in general and is only worse because we have a smaller community on Lemmy.

I don't try and push my weird opinions on my wife lmao. She knows how I feel and understands and does what she wants and that's okay. My advice is to communicate and respect each other even if you don't agree and don't be a controlling dork.

As always I am reminded that governments are run by the tech illiterate.

This is what happens you mix moonshine and cousin fucking.

I did not have defending DRM on my bingo card. Transphobia is especially vile though.

I didn't even know about prop hunt, this is a cool little project idea. I hope you're able to improve on the plugin.

I'll admit I took the bait, but I am more embarrassed for the instance that they got to actually defederate.

I'd rather students have more time off for lunch instead of learning why mickey mouse shouldn't be in public domain because of the evils of public domain or some dumb shit like that, defending multi billion dollar corporations. These shill posts are very cringe. Fuck copyright.

Discussions aren't illegal in most places, but maybe Disney will give you your good boy points.

I think you succinctly described the problem the internet is facing. I am not even sure making it illegal to have information is really necessary anyway. Consider Googles Web Environment Integrity, DRM that can effectively control access to websites, a single company controlling the information we are allowed to consume. An economic system based on capital will always work against our interests.

This is why piracy is not only ethical, it is good for humanity to share information as widely as possible.
