Your personal feelings aside, this doesn't practically affect you in any way from how it used to be until now.
We had an AI banner for months. You could have offered these suggestion any time before now. Anyway, the idea of a reusing a recognisable mascot in the GenAI art isn't bad
My brother in christ, you have a banner either way. What exactly is bothering you?
Fluxa Avataria is linked on the top. PRs or suggestions welcome.
Oh that's a great idea! I'll see if I can utilize this somehow. Feel free to share code as well ;)
Here's the donations links from on the sidebar mateys. The server is currently is not covering its hosting costs ;)
EDIT: Removed since they're in the OP now
useful online videos aren't going anywhere. That's not what the article is saying at all.
I mean, depending on your costs, running your own instance has benefits of control.
I mean, yes, Dbzer0 still exists, and yes, you can access it from other instances, but Lemmy.world is the biggest one and users here being cut off from it from here will strangle the amount of activity it gets. Visibility is important for the health of other instances and their communities. There’s a good reason why alternative subreddits never outgrow the main ones.
Yes and no. While it's true that piracy might not get "drive-by" traffic from l.w. users, those users who become aware of it, or who want to access it will be forced to create an account elsewhere than l.w. which will also help with redistributing users to smaller instances.
If by open registration, you mean without approval, I strongly recommend you add an approval step, due to spam.
Best play, run your own instance and federate with whoever you want :D
It's a change in something about /c/piracy. Where else would I publish this?
