I will not be spinning up instances of anything. I will seed hashes in bittorrent-like P2P networks, I will put my posts where they fit, I will look for posts from others in the most anti-censorship ways I can find, and I will hope devs and server admins create a version of Lemmy that’s fitting for more of my posts - while hurrying toward a possible future where Tor isn’t enough to make Lemmy relevant anymore, because P2P networks become the only place worth posting anything.

    I don’t care about advocating piracy but if I started posting warez to /c/gaming it would probably get removed.

    If you uploaded warez files directly to the instance that probably would get removed, and imo rightfully so we shouldn’t get this community obliterated for hosting files that can be found elsewhere with better download speeds(and privacy by using magnetised and proxiedied torrenting if you care to put the effort in)

    posting links to other places hosting the files is fine, I’ve done it myself and never had any pushback from users, mods or admins

    i.e the music comm post links to music hosted by people other than the official rights holder’s constantly
