All the piracy subs I can find are dead, quiet, or too niche. I’d love to be part of an effort to bring reliable and maintained information about how to safely pirate to lemmy. It’s actually one of the most frustrating things about switching from reddit. Are we puritanical here or something? If we had active piracy scenes I pretty much wouldn’t have to be on reddit at all anymore.


Yeah, but the pro genAI stances kinda turns me away
Yeah, I hate that too, but db0 still works for me in literally every other facet.
But the pro gen-AI stance is really at odds with the otherwise anarchist-ish outlook of db0: replacing individual human creativity with something that by its very nature requires large corporations to even run, or just a TON of personal capital to run yourself.
it only really clicked for me when I heard it described as (anti-corpo) pro-genAI
so, pro the technology but fuck the big players in the scene… fuck the big players in any scene
much more selfhosted genAI stuff in those comms than your big names (I think, the corpo side of it has turned me off the whole jam too so I don’t browse them or anything but the position isn’t so at odds with the anarchism imo)
It’s actually pretty easy to run yourself.
Yeah, it’s not hard - but it requires pretty good tech is what the poster meant.
Oh yeah that makes more sense, and that is one of the reasons I don’t support ai, it can gatekeep stuff to people who can afford a subscription or have the hardware to run their own.
Ive tried running many times, its just so tiring.
How? I haven’t interacted with my setup besides using it in months and I’ve had no issues?
One foot in front of the other, my friend
Handle checks out 🚲
You don’t have to join db0, just an instance that federates and then you can join the particular communities on db0 you want.
The beauty of this platform is you can be a part of one thing but not the other
Even their pro gen AI stance is stemmed from piracy (anti-copyright). You might say they are too pirate
Seemingly very anti intellectual property.
That why you sign up at an instance that’s not LW or db0 👍
