This. That was my initial reaction before checking out the community. Your description is accurate, although I kinda wish they didn’t choose that community name. Lol.

Loving your username, btw, PugJesus.

One risk of the fediverse is that data is cached locally from federated servers. That could put server owners in legal jeopardy for hosting illegal content.

This 100%. And not just piracy-related stuff.

Tbh, there have been some decisions by lemmy.world admins that i didn’t really support, but this one is understandable imo.

I wonder if the lemmy devs are aware of this and what steps can be taken to protect the instance owners from stuff in other instances that can get them in trouble.

I see Empress is still subtle and classy as always.

You’re absolutely right, now that I think about it. My bad. But yeah, it makes more sense to upstream and make the features toggle-able.

Not all instance owners may want all those features implemented. Not the same but kind of like how Beehaw doesn’t allow downvotes while other lemmy instances do.

Dude was forced to buy Twitter because he couldn’t stop his big mouth. Seems he hasn’t learned. Lmao.

It’s not similar between apps, either, even with the same account. If you’re on Android, you can use Voyager and Connect and it’ll show you different numbers. Another thing is that it fluctuates. I see my “karma” on Voyager is around 14 points now, whereas I made a post comment quite recently where I also checked and I had around 40.

So as a karma system, it’s unreliable enough imho that it’s not gonna (or shouldn’t) affect users as much as reddit’s karma system. It’s also another reason why I decided not to switch to kbin.

I just saw your post. I have this thread bookmarked since it’s pretty interestibg, tbh. I’d love to know what exactly happened.

I completely agree wih those 3 points, although I do think #1 is pretty weak (no offense, but I considered that and I wrote it off).

#2 is interesting because of the timing. I saw the owner post about it, but there was no indication that he was in a panic because of it. Personally, so far I am leaning towards this as the smoking gun, although the donation links being down kind of throws a wrench there.

#3 is something I believe can be significant. Problem is idk much about that area.

What’s your personal opinion about what happened?

From what I’ve read (take this with a grain of salt), the person you’re talking about cracks games with a much older version of denuvo. They’re apparently a lot easier to crack than those being done by this psycho.

I’d think cocaine would be a better choice for an FPS, tbh.
