Remember Marauder, whose title screen featured a loop of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” theme song? (This, after the packaging warned that this program was only supposed to be used to make legal copies?)

Wouldn’t “Elon Mode” mean you’re guaranteed to wreck everything?

Not really. It looks like they’re planning another case of “malicious compliance.”

Sorry, those other three are clearly not the heads of Reddit. They have more intelligence, humanity…and at least one capable of Counting.

Not just scummy, but dictatorial in the stupidest possible way. It’s basically like a parent, unable to justify an unreasonable edict, ending any discussion with a “because I said so, that’s why!”

Unfortunately, I can’t avoid it entirely, as there are some communities (like GenP) with information bases that still aren’t replicated here. I’d like to think that some of those communities will migrate over here eventually, but it hasn’t happened yet.

What an ass. I hope this gets some mods still over there to move here.

It does seem like a rather ugly design.

I’m sure Canada is devastated by the news.

I’m still struck by the realization that, apparently, Hasbro no longer exists. It’s like a part of my childhood just died.

That “pattern” has been around for at least fifty years. This is merely a continuation of it.

I would think, in Canada, such behavior would merit a hate crimes charge, since they don’t worship at the altar of FREEZE PEACH like we do here in the U.S.

It might…but, then again, once the API is closed and the “objectionable” subreddits are banned in order to prepare for an IPO, the resulting landscape there might be much the same as when the blackout was in force.

Just think – he’ll also get the opportunity to become the first president to be criminally convicted imprisoned.

TBH, this is the first time I’ve ever heard of legal torrent sites. I know LibreOffice makes its product available via torrenting, but that’s really about it.

I’ve got to hand it to them, they did an effective job of suppressing Lemmy – I never even heard of its existence until last night.

Well, I hope this means that all those who followed this subreddit will come over here because, in the end, if Lemmy provides enough content to be a Reddit successor, it will succeed but, if it becomes a mere shadow of what was available there, it’ll fade away just like some of the “Twitter replacement” platforms have.
