Why Internet Piracy is Making a Comeback - Discuss Online

The video argues that after years of decline, internet piracy is resurging around the world. It describes how the rising costs of streaming-service subscriptions, fragmentation of content across many platforms, and restrictive licensing make legally accessing movies, series, or shows increasingly expensive and complicated. Many users respond to those frustrations by returning to piracy, which often promises easier access, lower costs, and broader content availability. However, the video also warns that piracy’s comeback comes with serious risks — including increased exposure to malware, scams, security vulnerabilities, and potentially compromised devices or personal data.

How Will Lemmy and Social Media Handle Advanced Bots in the Future? - Discuss Online

As technology advances and computers become increasingly capable, the line between human and bot activity on social media platforms like Lemmy is becoming blurred. What are your thoughts on this matter? How do you think social media platforms, particularly Lemmy, should handle advanced bots in the future?

Lemmy was better before the Reddit exodus last year, when people started insulting others by calling them tankies and fascists. Before that, it was much more peaceful.

How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality.

There has to be a way to federate trust levels otherwise all of this just isn’t applicable to the fediverse, one of the links I posted talks about how to federate trust levels. So the appeal is processed by a user with a higher trust level.

A system like this rewards frequent shitposting over slower qualityposting. It is also easily gamed by organized bad faith groups. Imagine if this was Reddit and T_D users just gave each other a high trust score, valuing their contributions over more “organic” posts.

You are just assuming that this would work similarly to Reddit based on karma. I don’t know why you would assume the worst possible implementation just so you can complain about this. If you had read the links, you would know that shitposting wouldn’t help much because what contributes most to Trust Levels in Discourse is reading posts.

I don’t know how that works. Why would have to do anything to participate in the discussions? The curation can be done by whoever wants to do it.
I’ve based the idea on Discourse which has very good moderation. I don’t know why everyone is talking about StackExchange, did I mention it anywhere?
I think in a few years using an AI for this kind of task will be much more efficient and simpler to set up. Right now I think it would fail too much.
I don’t really care whether or not the issues I suggested are implemented, but it frustrates me when they close the issues without listening to the input from the community.
