I might start to truly believe in karma.
Oh come on. There are definitely some people that ruined many lives and - from a certain point of view - would deserve death, but he is not one of them.
He did ruin many lives tho. + he his a fascist crap 😬
He litteraly had employees he told not to move to punish them if I remember right. And that is one of the most soft bad thing he did.
I have no love for KdC.
I would like to see some sources there, as I remember him getting arrested, and as far as I remember, the worst he did was piracy, hosting of piracy, and potentially illegal dissemination of patents. Oh and possibly hosting some potentially illegal VPNs
He basically invented the whole "sueing people for illegal file sharing" industry together with his lawyer
Fuck that guy
Yeah, I understood that he was pretty scummy, even for a self professed "pirate," it was the faschist accusation I wanted clarity on. I didn't get any indication that the guy was interested in assisting any corporations, nor was he trying to help authoritarian ideologues.
I may have totally missed the fascist part since I was far more interested in the pirate part. I personally don't consider KdC to be an actual digital pirate, since he didn't seem to give one single shit about the free flow of information.
I also don't consider him a nautical pirate since he seemed to be making far more booty than a ship's charter would have allowed, and especially since he wasn't sharing the booty with anyone at all, as far as I can tell. Pirates were some of the original "communist entrepreneurs," AKA the original democratic co-op.
It wasn't pretty, but if someone like KdC became a pirate captain, his reign would be ended by his own crew. Probably spearheaded by the ship's boatswain (accountant, pronounced like bōsn or bōsün), quartermaster, (the guy with the swords and guns in the armory, also the guy who makes the shift schedule with the boatswain's recommendations), or the ship's doctor who regularly knew how much food or medical supplies were left, and could easily recruit the ship's cook into the "mutiny," or change of command.
KdC should have lost everyone that represented those keys to power within months of him setting up his scheme.
Wishing death upon someone because they are a libertarian (or hold whatever other opinion you disagree with) is trashy
Lemmy in a nutshell. Certain instances a lot more than others tho.
Lemmy and Reddit
Average blahaj.zone poster
Nah that's one of the chill ones.
If you remove the tankie instances, blahaj.zone is probably the most toxic one.
Had exactly the same thought. And it was so peaceful after blocking lemmygrad and .ml, I almost got used to it.
Think I need to block their instance as well.
