I've recently found reddit less engaging. I used to post on various communities about interests of mine, but at the end of the day I can't deny reddit is a profit based model which is ok all in all, but it really leaves a bad impression for the end user who just wants to get along in a community with like-minded individuals. And that is the very aspect that used to make it a great place for end users. Contrary to twitter or youtube that incorporate recommendation algorithms, reddit and similar sites expect users to find their communities on their own and contribute on them altogether without the intervention of some centralized algorithm. The way in which it has evicted unofficial clients is quite a shame in that regard ; it makes the platform more aggressive towards users.

Second that, I wish i2p was more popular.

Best advice out of all comments! Wikipedia is strongly underestimated as a content platform for entertainments.

Couldn't have phrased it better. Do people really care about ethics when pirating content ?

I am using https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix

I am still active in some private irc servers. The communities haven't changed much since the golden era of irc.

It's neomutt :)

Ok so this is my first post on lemmy and I wonder why image quality is that bad (it looks compressed) :/ Here is the same image so that you can compare.

There's no issue, really. I am just wondering why there seems to be a tendency across piracy community towards ethics, which is just offtopic to me. You're not in a court, and no one cares about your justification.

Stop pretending you don't know what I am referring to. I am talking about online piracy, which is "the practice of downloading and distributing copyrighted works digitally without permission".

this is just copying

Copying files is not necessarily piracy.
