  • Why wouldn't it be legal?

  • All this wouldn't be necessary if gamers would just stop buying games that are obviously live services with remote kill switches.

  • How are they ditching LoL on Linux if they've never officially supported it in the first place?

  • Lemmy users will cancel this for not being hardwired to defederate with Threads :^)

  • It's already illegal if your content is large enough to be copyrightable.

  • Don't hope, be prepared. Back up your games.

  • Welcome to Lemmy. You may only advocate for Firefox.

  • That's hardly React's fault. Blame the web devs to jump into making websites after having completed a 2-week React bootcamp and nothing else.

  • Well, in that case you should never publish your code anywhere.

  • Thing is, people don't need the Discord experience. People need the people and servers that are on Discord.

  • The issue is that the majority of people on the Fediverse are "techies" with specific interests, which skews the spectrum of content quite a bit.

    The Fediverse is in an awkward spot. It needs more people like you to keep technology communities from becoming Linux circlejerks, but at the same time those circlejerks are driving people like you out.

  • Honestly it's a great way to get people who just read the title to self-report.

  • You perfectly demonstrated why people will never listen to you. Think about it, you'll get it.

  • "How do you know someone's a Firefox user? Don't worry, they'll tell you"

  • Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear

  • Do you think comments like these are swaying public opinion in your favor?

  • People don't actually care about the article, they're just here to circlejerk about their hate for commercial software.

  • People will never use downvotes the intended way. They haven't done so on Reddit either.

    I see no productive use for downvotes, so I've disabled them.

  • But what if some of my comments include information that can uniquely identify me?

    That can be something like "message me on Matrix at ..."

  • I didn't see your initial proposal. However I sympathise with this post and I really understand the frustration you're feeling with the lack of donations, having seen it time and time again in the open-source space.

    I was going to pledge that I'd donate once I had the cash available, but seeing how you respond to people in the comments is leading me to reconsider. You may not be demanding donations, but to me it does look like you're attempting to shame people into donating with a challenging tone. Quoting one of your responses:

    Anyway, now you know it as well. If you think that this is a worthy effort, what are you going to do about it besides commenting here?

    I still want to support you if you're going to pursue this, since I myself have a strong interest in Lemmy being GDPR-compliant, but I ask you that you please reconsider how you approach the people that can potentially be supporters of your efforts.
