They hired the right dude for that job.

It was kinda ambiguous how deep they were going to stick it up the devs’ ass.
Honestly, I wholeheartedly support this move. For a couple of (obviously subjective) reasons:
Lemmy/kbin isn’t ready. If Beehaw staff were able to fork their own version of the base code with their moderation etc. design preferences in mind, this would be another thing – though even then it might not be enough to be worth it with the headache of fediverse moderation.
Closed system/community is more personal, hence more productive and less noisy. At least before it outgrows itself.
What I’d hope but is also more work and potentially creates conflicts, is that the new platform provides good moderation logging etc. Which I think is key feature to ensure trust and self policing.
That game seems pretty loved, I wouldn’t be that surprised about a remaster. Though it would have to be a pretty barebones if it can’t compete with a ten year old release.
Not really an advocate for piracy but I wouldn’t have any qualms about recommending that route to you.
That comment was made after exclusively arguing with folks who had nothing to say, expect that the decision was fascist/narcissistic/etc. No explanation beyond weird buzzwords.
Now this makes a lot more sense than what I’ve read here! I can understand the ire.
Everyone vocal on “your side” seem to have really limited world view and generally just bad attitude. No one seems to be willing to even explain the logic behind why this is wrong or at least show some understanding of the problem.
Edit. And by “you” I don’t mean pirates, do what you want, but the people complaining about an instance protecting themselves from possible legal trouble.
No, calling protective measures fascism/thought controlling/etc is in fact closer to thought controlling than that in itself. And besides you can easily bypass this ban, which wasn’t done in secret but with a public announcement.
Just… grow up or come up with a real point.
I’d just rather them have an actual point than just complaints .Like how in their understanding are the instance runners in the clear when it comes to copyright laws. Like an actual point. Or how are they going to help the instance if there were to be legal trouble.
Lmao thought police is fucking sending me a bill for breaking the copyright law!!
What? What’s narcissistic about that comment. Abuse – maybe since that was antagonistic language and it just might be your first day on the internet.
Talking about finger pointing without actually breaking down their argument doesn’t seem constructive and makes you sound like op hit home with their description.
By being filthy rich and owning a lot of the company?
Yeah too bad that idiot at the top hasn’t been thrown out like in any normal company and the company is using resources to accommodate his whims.
It’s called self-deprecating humor.
Microsoft is a good underdog because they have infinite money. And a really bad market leader, I bet worse than Sony. It would’ve been way better for the industry to not let them acquire the big boys they have.
