wdym? i dont see reddit now banning piracy
Pirating itself (like direct links to pirated contents) on reddit is prohibited and posts or even the sub can be taken down by reddit. That's why you often see piracy releted subs talking and discussing about piracy and piracy related topics instead of being a place for piracy.
"refer to megathread" that is offsite and not on reddit is the only reddit response
Reminder that when a sentence has 2 or more questions people will only answer the last one.
okay that makes sense. thanks
What's a reddit?
a strainge lemmy clone.
Do I think that reddit will ban easy access to what the general public is doing to pirate media?
No. That information is too valuable and useful when sold to companies looking to target such demographics (for legal reasons or illegal ones).
Do I think people will come here because reddit cracks down on content directly related to how to engage in piracy? Probably but the rate of exchange will be impacted by the friction of doing so.
If all they use reddit for is that? High likelihood they just move. If they use reddit for more than piracy related content. The rate of users who will move gets smaller the more useful reddit is to them outside of piracy related content. The friction added to finding out about and joining Lemmy also play a role.
I think they’d let it keep going to keep tabs on which websites to tattle to the authorities.
cant they just spy on fmhy then? they dont need a sub to know the sites
Maybe, but users are willing to organize and provide the discovery service for free.
Just like here...who knows if some of the copyright psychos are active here (they probably are...)
As long as they follow the rules, they're more valuable as a list of IP addresses to hand over to feds.
Yep.
when do you think this will happen?
Already happening slowly? Look at genp
Just mention lemmy on reddit every chance u have
I mean, if they ALL come here, they will kill the fediverse, but I assume many will and there will be new, normie platforms for the others.
wont the fediverse just invest more in servers and make ads if millions of users come?
You seem to have the wrong idea of what the fediverse is and how it works.
then explain it. im new here
The Fediverse (commonly shortened to fedi)[2][3][4] is a collection of social networking services that can communicate with each other (formally known as federation) using a common protocol . Users of different websites can send and receive status updates, multimedia files and other data across the network. The term Fediverse is a portmanteau of federation and universe.[5]
The majority of Fediverse platforms are based on free and open-source software , and create connections between servers using the ActivityPub protocol. Some software still supports older federation protocols as well, such as OStatus, the Diaspora protocol and Zot, while newer protocols such as AT Protocol connect via network bridges. Diaspora is the only actively developed software project classified under the original definition of Fediverse that does not support ActivityPub.[6][7]
Design
While a traditional social networking service will host all its content on servers managed by the owner of the website, the decentralized structure of the Fediverse allows any individual or organization to host a social platform using their own servers (referred to as an "instance").
The fediverse isn't one singular entity. It's a bunch of individual independently managed instances that link with each other (or don't, if they so choose) via a shared protocol. Think of it like email.
I meant that if the IP owners see this platform as a threat the pedophile ruling class will ban the ActivityPub protocol or something.
