5 Card Draw

Copyright laws are a recent phenomenon and should have never been a thing imo. The only reason it’s there is not to “protect creators,” but to make sure upper classes extract as much wealth over the maximum amount of time possible.

Music piracy has showed that it’s got too many holes in it to be effective, and now AI is showing us its redundancy as it uses data to give better results.

it stifles creativity to the point it makes us inhuman. Hell, Chinese writers used to praise others if they used a line or two from other writers.

Is this really news?

So if I get locked out of a car, I’m suddenly worthy of making headlines? There are bigger things to draw attention to than this.

Should Lemmy have a verified user marker for members who are of importance to any given community?>

No, everyone is equal here and I want to keep it that way. I don’t want this to be twitter.

Are there any other options to protect users against nefarious persons playing impostor?>

You mean besides the one where you just successfully figured out the person was legit through verifying them?

No, it should be up to the community mods to verify someone is legit not the app itself.

I’m not sure we should be so quick to alienate people who still use reddit. They may simply be overwhelmed about starting again on a (better) platform.

Lemmy at it’s core philosophies make it much better for communities and individuals to be freer. We just need to go through some growing pains at the moment.
