!ich_iel@feddit.de
Technically, it has an equivalent in r/ich_iel. But that's a generic German meme sub, while the fediverse version is dominated by half a dozen users making memes about their private life. It has a weird-as-fuck soap opera love story between a cow and ramen noodles, hero worship of a bright yellow superhero fighting against parking offenders, and genuinely interesting insights into the German public train system.

!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

/r/Piracy is just a bunch of memes, and this community actively talks about piracy, it's ethical philosophy and taking control over your media. There are people who pirate everything regardless of circumstances, but for the most part, I'd argue its people who have been burnt by companies whom they trusted.

/r/piracy is just a bunch of memes

Because otherwise it would get instantly banned. You don't host piracy communities on social media, it's well known

[โ€“] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I disagree that it actually talks about the "ethical philosophy." Basically either you join the echo chamber saying that there are no ethical problems with piracy, or you're downvoted to oblivion. The responses are along the lines of "idc, I want free stuff." That makes the discussion redundant and uninteresting.

[โ€“] umbrella@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

because the flipside is companies wanting to nickel and dime you to oblivion for a subpar piece of media, or even hardware these days.

[โ€“] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

We're talking about whether the community has a nuanced discussion about the ethics of piracy or not. What you said just now is another attempt at a false dichotomy, so if you're trying to represent the community you're kind of proving my point.

[โ€“] umbrella@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

im presenting you with a simple, common but strong argument for it.

you can choose to engage with it with nuance or, apparently, attack me.

you won't agree with every set of ideals out there, that doesn't mean it isnt tought out.

[โ€“] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your argument is not relevant to anything I said. So I don't want to engage with it because it derails the discussion here, which is not about the ethics of piracy but about the community's openness to discussing it.

[โ€“] umbrella@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yes it is. you just dont want to have that discussion.

the community will rightfully shun people parroting the copyrights holders arguments and bad faith arguing, because thats not the place to be if you hate piracy.

[โ€“] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They can do whatever they want, it's their community. Just don't tell me there's a nuanced discussion going on there.

[โ€“] umbrella@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

well dont tell me there isnt while refusing to engage.

[โ€“] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

I did engage multiple times in that community, when it was on topic. I eventually learned that there was no point in doing so.

(abstract) The overall dev community here. This place has a lot of the extremely capable bleeding edgers, the people capable of changing the world for the better with a couple weeks of thought.

[โ€“] towerful@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I also edge until i bleed

[โ€“] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

where do they mostly lurk ? I want to piggyback on these worldchanging devs

[โ€“] j4k3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

.ml is the oldest Lemmy instance and home of the Lemmy devs. You mostly need to ask compelling questions and read between the lines to get a bigger picture view.

!stick@sh.itjust.works is a pretty unique community on the Lemmyverse.

Gotta be !imageai@sh.itjust.works. The weekly community challenges are really cool and I don't think you could find a better space to experiment with and learn about AI artwork. The userbase is knowledgeable/skilled on the topic and also has good vibes.

[โ€“] my_hat_stinks@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Personally I don't see that as a good thing. Reddit had a thriving community of active art sharing subrrddits, Lemmy only has a few barely active art coms and instead floods All with ai-generated images.

[โ€“] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

A) just block the community

B) Lemmy also has active !traditional_art@lemmy.world communities, it just has less activity in general. We can have an infinite amount of communities on this platform, for both topics. It's not a zero-sum game

Why do you think the existence of the AI image community is hurting the other art communities on Lemmy? I'm subscribed to and enjoy content from both.

[โ€“] ByGourou@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

!femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone I'm sorry.

I also made one for Aldi fans, surving past 40, and ethical consumerism. I would love for more fun discussions and recommendations posted on these. It's really hard to get people to post.

The Tom Swifty sub has been locked without explanation for a year on reddit. But !tomswifty@midwest.social is thriving!

[โ€“] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

TIL about Tom Swifty jokes. It's like a pun on steroids. Brilliant!

[โ€“] Artyom@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm gonna need someone to explain what that is a little more. I'm super confused.

[โ€“] Nemo@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

It's a type of joke where the spoken line relates to the described manner of speaking, usually in a pun, eg.

"Salmon is just the best," Tom said superficially.

The adverb "superficially" sounds like "super fish", which describes Tom's attitude towards salmon.

Lemmit.

Yeah, you can downvote if you want. The point being that Lemmy's niche communities are kind of dead, because it's not really big enough to sustain them yet. Lemmit at least provides a bridge so I can see the ones stranded on Reddit.

It's an instance that automatically reposts every post made in certain Reddit subs.

I don't like it, and blocked the entire instance because I don't like the whole automatic repost thing, especially when the OP probably won't even see any responses
