I swear shit like this is why Lemmy is so incredibly out of touch with the real world. I can't take the community seriously anymore.

So my home media center is not real world enough? I only expressed an opinion; you are free to ignore it. Also, there is nothing that keeps you here. Please kindly keep in mind that most Lemmy users right now are interested in technology, you can't take that away from them and there is nothing wrong with it. If you want to stay away from "shit like this", then, with all respect, you probably should not be in a technology sub in the first place.

I think the difference is folks confuse the general public with the general lemmy user. And I can't tell if the fediverse and lemmy are supposed to be attempting to be a front page for general folks or lemmy early adopter folks.

I agree. Too many comments and threads are hijacked or over represented by the pro piracy crowd. I wish more communities would just ban the shit post of "yar, time to sail the high seas" that seem to be the top comment on any media related post.
