According to LW TOS, it probably should have defederated if dbzer0 was basically entirely piracy. But, that user was an obvious troll and the lamest narc I’ve ever seen.

For a while I would like a few posts and reply to the usual handful of birthday wishes but I stopped doing that. I’ll just hit up my friends and family directly.

I have essentially stopped using it for the last few years. Last time I used it was months ago and that was for Facebook Marketplace.

I use PIA, and so far torrents still work. It sounds like the film studios are going after smaller VPNs or VPNs that make it obvious that they’re piracy friendly.

It definitely is. Prisoners are at the mercy of the state more than anyone else, so their treatment at the hands of the state should be the biggest offense when it comes to civil rights. But here we are, where people actively root for prisoner mistreatment just to “teach them a lesson”. When at the very least results should show them that this mistreatment does not actually bring any type of rehabilitation or deterrent to crime.

The very idea that we have legal, Constitutional slavery still in the US and most people don’t know or care is genuinely disturbing.

Wallet and phone in the right pocket, keys in the left for me.
