An idea i had that i imagine would turn out pretty well is Japanese speaking forums for westerners specifically. It’d have a buy in that no one interested in only trolling would go in for (learning a language, especially one far from English).

Some pirate coves protect themselves by requiring an invite from someone already in the community, that could work really well too.

Generally, just requiring a little work to get someplace would make communities a lot nicer.

Wishing for the death of verifiably evil people is perfectly fine, healthy, and normal.

I mean, legally yeah, but otherwise it seems pretty good to me

I think that’s what most as execs want, sadly

You’d think this would drive away what mods are left, i imagine they are mostly there for the illusion of power they get at this point and this will be a step towards removing that.

But then, the entire corporatization should be enough to drive people away on it’s own but it doesn’t seem to be.

I never accused them of being competent. They’re getting into a death spiral, but there still isn’t a very good and well known alternative to leech the disgruntled customer base.

I personally would read this as a sign that more people are turning to ad blocking or straight up leaving. Not enough money coming in so they have to jack prices up way faster than they’d likely do otherwise.

Or to not do it to begin with.

Intellectual property laws need to be completely abolished and remade from the ground up. They do nothing but harm society as it stands. That said, i don’t think ai bros care. They just want to have their product also partake in destroying humanity at every possible level for profit they couldn’t even spend if they tried.

But they don’t want us all to reap the rewards, they just want the rewards for themselves. The cruelty is the point.

So, in the u.k., it’s just one of those “we keep this handy to hurt the uppity poors” laws?

Lawsuit, sure, but is it actually illegal?

God damn i hate what the Internet has become, i can barely even comment on YouTube

Ngl, i don’t see how bmw gets any sales when Mercedes exists. If you are actually rich a Mercedes is almost objectively the better vehicle, if you are just trying to show off the Mercedes is a better status symbol too.

You just blow in from stupid town?

Windows 11 went full mask off on how bad Windows really is, why would anyone use it? No one wants adware, ransomware, or spyware on their pc, let alone have it baked in.

…Well fuck.

Unironically yes, and he could easily justify it as ‘official business’ as dealing with traitors too.

No, not at all. Sure the rich want to be richer, but hurting the poor is a goal in and of itself in our world.
