It’s way too small, even smaller than Lemmy, to really bother.
Here’s my problem with Reddit-alternatives - they only focus on a handful of communities. You’ll have your politics, your gaming, your technology, your news .etc
But where the hell are all of the fun ones? Reddit had micro-communities in spades, that’s what it is known for. If the alternatives aren’t trying then they aren’t trying hard enough.
If you ignore the social stigma about them about how many ways people inject their social philosophies and other mind junk into the fabric of the films. As well as not look to into things, then it’s just as Star Wars as they come except Disney-fied.

@OP - These are the people I’m talking about.
Thanks for being a demonstrating example.
No I don’t. It’s just a dumb internet toy and I’m glad Lemmy and the Fediverse treats it like that. It used to annoy the fuck out of me with Reddit, where they tie your account to it. Too low or negative? Good luck posting anywhere or tripping the spam filter bot that thinks you’re an evader so you get banned over it.
People have this idea in their heads that the higher their karma is, the more righteous they are and that they can’t think or say wrong. When, based on experience, a lot of the time that people with high karma counts happen to be from the most insufferable bastard human beings I ever come across.
It kind of does matter. If you’re hot-swapping in and out nearly all of the time for this and that, that is considered suspicious activity. If you knew a single thing about how networking works, they can see just about anything. Where you went, the unencrypted data that is sent and received and vice versa. They may not know exactly the file you downloaded or the page specifically you’re at, but they can put two and two together if they think your activity lines up with the data it is coming from and to.
And once again, I have said, if you read at all, downloading gigs and gigs in a single day. You’re bringing up streaming which is something they’d know and expect by now, so of course it’s not going to bring attention. They also are aware that VPNs are advertised so much that they probably expect you to hop around to stream something you can’t normally.
They’re not going to directly ask you why you’re using a VPN, they’re more than likely going to ask you why are you using so much data up on X date and Y date? And then they could ask you what purpose did you have visiting this site at those dates too.
My point is about the amount of consumption you put into downloading many files, they don’t give a damn about your streaming habits since they know very well we’ve been in the age of streaming for a while now.
Kinda wish you’d be a little more detailed here.
So while everyone is telling you what to use. Let me tell you about how to behave as a pirate, least suggestively, not strictly. You need to not be a blip on the radar. Well how’s that? You don’t download gigs and gigs of data in a single day, you have to be a little more spread than that. Because even if you’re safe under VPN and everything, if an ISP thinks you’re being suspicious at any degree, they’re gonna look into it.
I make sure I don’t download more than I can chew and since I’m on a data cap of 350GB a month, it helps me enforce this. I’ve been at it for well over 25+ years so by this point, I’ve about acquired a lot of what I wanted so I’m in a little of my winding down period.
Try not to listen to the pirates that just boast about themselves and their habits, they’re doing things you don’t know about and are probably above your skill since obviously you claim to be very new at this.
Dude, get the hell out of here. Stop turning everything political.
Trump will now spin the rotating door again of incompetent people and see where it lands him now.
“Nevermind everything else that you’re doing is also going to kill about 75% of the same Americans, but never mind that, you’re doing great on the fentanyl crisis! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!”
I like to donate and purge things that I think have lost all levels of relevancy to me. If I look at something, think when the last time I’ve used it was, if I feel anything at all for it anymore and if I foresee any future use for it and base my decision on that. It has helped greatly in making my apartment look entirely manageable and not be a hoarder.
I would have to trash my apartment around to make it messy as if it was a hoarder’s place, but the most mess I ever get is maybe I forgot to grab a plate or two or maybe some things are left behind. Things that take no time at all to deal with while still maintaining a decent apartment.
I also do shadow-blocking too. If I see someone who’s going to be an antagonizing prick for no reason to someone, good reason to block just to save you the future trouble if they decide to target you. There are just a lot of people online who treat it as a hobby to go around shitting all over anything and everyone.
Forget the next 100 days. We’ve got like…3 more years of this. 3 more years.
And all I’ve been seeing so far is just people pointing fingers and saying bold things, but doing fuck all about it. Especially the public, who think they’re going to be saved by some one-man army or some deity or some karma system when quite frankly, they’re all fictitious. Getting off your ass and doing something about it is to much of a chore for them.
I do this a lot whenever I have my 5-year cycle of migrating accounts. If I have lost track of and forgotten entirely the purpose of an account I had once made and know it is not essential or required, it is gone.
Unfortunately, there are services and places out there online in which they do not allow you to delete accounts. I wish this would be a federal law of some kind because it would lessen your footprints online. It is bad practice and I automatically label them as data farms because really, what reason do you have to not allow people to delete their accounts? You’re setting people up to be collected in data breaches and therefore your data falls into the hands of someone you wouldn’t want to have it.
I voted Harris in 2024, don’t assume what you truly don’t know.
We’ll see if it even stand the test of time, how it takes on weather .etc
But that’s what makes GIMP special. There’s some users who feel that Photoshop has stopped being relevant for some uses among those users. GIMP may be a decade behind but it could be swimming in what people remembered best about Photoshop before its enshittification and retains that kind of nature.
The day the Internet Archive was being attacked and sued, was the signal.
Well for one thing - document heavily on the idea of the product. This is a must. Figure out your target audience - who or what is this for? Figure out an rough draft of costs and ideas how much you’d like to have sold this for.
And then once you figure all of that out, you’re going to need to file a patent.
Wherever and however this idea of yours will come about, these are the kind of things that are important to deal with.
