!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

/r/Piracy is just a bunch of memes, and this community actively talks about piracy, it's ethical philosophy and taking control over your media. There are people who pirate everything regardless of circumstances, but for the most part, I'd argue its people who have been burnt by companies whom they trusted.

/r/piracy is just a bunch of memes

Because otherwise it would get instantly banned. You don't host piracy communities on social media, it's well known

[-] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I disagree that it actually talks about the "ethical philosophy." Basically either you join the echo chamber saying that there are no ethical problems with piracy, or you're downvoted to oblivion. The responses are along the lines of "idc, I want free stuff." That makes the discussion redundant and uninteresting.

[-] ezchili@iusearchlinux.fyi 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Hey there's long fledged out discussions on the nuances of... how very ethical piracy is

Idk if it's still there, but devs of lemmy mentioned wanting to make a place you could actually talk about piracy. I buy things when I can DRM free, and when I can't I'm really glad this community exists

Gotta be !imageai@sh.itjust.works. The weekly community challenges are really cool and I don't think you could find a better space to experiment with and learn about AI artwork. The userbase is knowledgeable/skilled on the topic and also has good vibes.

[-] my_hat_stinks@programming.dev 24 points 8 months ago

Personally I don't see that as a good thing. Reddit had a thriving community of active art sharing subrrddits, Lemmy only has a few barely active art coms and instead floods All with ai-generated images.

[-] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 19 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

A) just block the community

B) Lemmy also has active !traditional_art@lemmy.world communities, it just has less activity in general. We can have an infinite amount of communities on this platform, for both topics. It's not a zero-sum game

Why do you think the existence of the AI image community is hurting the other art communities on Lemmy? I'm subscribed to and enjoy content from both.

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

It's not a zero sum game, but there are not an infinite number of eyeballs looking nor is there an infinite supply of content at any given time. If the majority of "art" floating to the top is generated, it will change how people view the platform.

Maybe the AI "art" community being the first to thrive will mean actual artists get a bad first impression and avoid Lemmy. Maybe people do block it and it becomes a problem only visible to those who don't already "get it" and just block.

There are many reasons why it could hurt the community. How do you fail to understand that?

Automation will steal our jobs!!

/s

[-] Rebels_Droppin@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I feel that. There's is a lot of ai art here and it's a little off putting. Reddit did have a lot more to share but it comes with the user numbers for sure.

Shameless plug, but I've been really trying to keep up with daily posts at https://lemmy.world/c/crtart if you are looking for a non ai art community.

Huh didn't expect a community I (used to be) am active on.

!stick@sh.itjust.works is a pretty unique community on the Lemmyverse.

(abstract) The overall dev community here. This place has a lot of the extremely capable bleeding edgers, the people capable of changing the world for the better with a couple weeks of thought.

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

where do they mostly lurk ? I want to piggyback on these worldchanging devs

The Tom Swifty sub has been locked without explanation for a year on reddit. But !tomswifty@midwest.social is thriving!

[-] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 months ago

TIL about Tom Swifty jokes. It's like a pun on steroids. Brilliant!

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 4 points 8 months ago

Was it locked permanently due to the Reddit API changes perhaps? Or was it before that?

I know some subs did lock indefinitely, but Reddit forcibly reopened some I think.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 4 points 8 months ago

It was a couple months before that, actually. I wouldn't talk shit about a community that shut down in protest.

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

I'm gonna need someone to explain what that is a little more. I'm super confused.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 7 points 8 months ago

It's a type of joke where the spoken line relates to the described manner of speaking, usually in a pun, eg.

"Salmon is just the best," Tom said superficially.

The adverb "superficially" sounds like "super fish", which describes Tom's attitude towards salmon.

[-] HarbingerOfTomb@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

TIL we have a Tom Swift community

[-] ByGourou@sh.itjust.works 15 points 8 months ago

!femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone I'm sorry.

[-] LazyPhilosopher@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Dude same! I fucking love those memes

[-] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 9 points 8 months ago

!ich_iel@feddit.de
Technically, it has an equivalent in r/ich_iel. But that's a generic German meme sub, while the fediverse version is dominated by half a dozen users making memes about their private life. It has a weird-as-fuck soap opera love story between a cow and ramen noodles, hero worship of a bright yellow superhero fighting against parking offenders, and genuinely interesting insights into the German public train system.

I also made one for Aldi fans, surving past 40, and ethical consumerism. I would love for more fun discussions and recommendations posted on these. It's really hard to get people to post.

[-] Meltrax@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

One post? Kinda seems like less of a community and more like you promoting the spaces you have created. Which is fine, but not really what the question was.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !theonionwasright@sh.itjust.works

Alright since we're self promoting:

!howtimeless@lemmy.ml

It tries to quantify "how timeless" a song is based on its lyrics, by tracking the etymology of words and phrases to their earliest occurence. It then forms a score based on the terms.

Lemmit.

Yeah, you can downvote if you want. The point being that Lemmy's niche communities are kind of dead, because it's not really big enough to sustain them yet. Lemmit at least provides a bridge so I can see the ones stranded on Reddit.

[-] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago
[-] Baku@aussie.zone 7 points 8 months ago

It's an instance that automatically reposts every post made in certain Reddit subs.

I don't like it, and blocked the entire instance because I don't like the whole automatic repost thing, especially when the OP probably won't even see any responses
