It’s gonna be the golden age of piracy ya’ll.

Time and time again they keep “fixing” piracy with good access (Netflix, steam) and then spend the next decade(s) ruining it.

What I don’t get is why not pretend it’s centralized and just recommend a server when you introduce someone to lemmy instead of trying to teach them?

Oh you want an alternative to Reddit, here, go to lemmy.ca since your Canadian.
