Formerly @[email protected] - migrated to help with server load.
Migrating soon to @[email protected] due to disagreements with lemmy.world's implementation of Rule 1.
If you try to access one of the blocked communities from lemmy.world you'll see it's blocked, dude
lemmy.world rule 1:
No illegal content, including sharing copyrighted material
c/[email protected] rule 3:
Don’t request or link to specific pirated titles
So c/[email protected] doesn't even break that rule. It's for discussion. Unless you take a very broad reading of not allowing the sharing of resources that could be used to pirate copyrighted material, but that's not an issue anywhere else
No illegal content, including sharing copyrighted material without the explicit permission of the owner(s).
The problem is this is still pretty vague. The communities that were blocked weren't sharing copyrighted material, but resources for finding and sharing said material. You might think this is being overly literal but I'm pretty sure it's the same loophole that allows reddit to host r/piracy without getting into legal trouble.
On the other hand, if we take this rule at face value it could be interpreted as not allowing the sharing of any kind of content without the express permission of the creators. This could include photographs, artwork, videos, and maybe more.
So it's not an issue of people being lazy or ignorant, but overly broad/vague rules
Maybe you shouldn’t even have had your account on the largest server to begin with?
Some of us made our accounts on lemmy.world within a week(?) of its creation when it was tiny (June 5 for me). Doesn't stop it from belonging on mildly infuriating
Weird to announce it on discord when they could've, idk, announced it on lemmy.world. Anyway thanks for the answer

Can we get a link to this announcement? I tried to look on Avaddon's profile but didn't see it
It all depends on context, imo. People should generally leave other people's private property alone. But if it's an ugly cinderblock wall downtown, some kind of drab piece of infrastructure, and the graffiti artist is actually making an effort to make it look good - it can be public art
Socialist by degree - but he mentions these things but not necessarily replacing the current system entirely. This is basically market socialism, which many (mainly Marxist-Leninists and the like) do not consider true socialism. There are a lot of MLs on lemmy. Hence my saying I'm surprised no one has come in yet to tell him he's not going far enough. We came close, someone called these fixes with the possible implication that he isn't going far enough, but not outright
The fun part about memes like this is that they could be posted by anyone, anywhere on the political spectrum. The only hint at intent is in the title or community
you've never experienced another, vastly superior system (like, for example, Germany)
??? Germany is not another system, it's just capitalism with some touches of socialism
The fun part is that you're on lemmy and I'm surprised no one has called you a conservative yet. This is because all of your ideas involve keeping the current system, and many people around here specifically want full socialism, Marxism, what have you
If you're going to break it down that far, why stop? Your "self" is not your central nervous system, but a portion of it - and not a very large one. It's your consciousness. Most of what your nervous system does is not conscious.
Your self (and mine) are but a small portion of a single organ in a large network of organs and tissues and cells and bacteria. We developed because it was advantageous for our bodies - which predate our consciousness - to have pilots. We are periphery. We are a single part of an ecosystem. And definitely not the center of it
How is this fire related to climate change? Genuine question because I don't understand the connection
I'm 27, but right at this moment I'd caution my younger self not to build my future around someone else. Twice now I've found someone I wanted to marry, and, well, life happens.
Anyone can leave you. Yes, even them. None of us think we'll break up with the one we love but it happens to almost all of us.
The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry
Not the guy you asked, but: to make money. Obviously the more money you have the more you make, but 10% return is 10% return. Anyone can invest and it's a wise financial decision that can really pay off, especially if you start while young
Galadriel: And for you, Frodo Baggins, I give you the light of my daughter's husband's father
Frodo: So what does that make us?
Galadriel: Absolutely nothing
He forgot to mention that the theory is that it happened on accident. Thus he fell forward, causing him to misfire
YSK to play around with different sorting methods on your lemmy feed.
Why YSK: Doing so can change your feed and experience drastically.
I typically sort by local/all: active, where I see a mixture of memes, news, and discussions. But I switched to all: hot, and I was shocked by just how homogeneous my feed became. It was pretty much entirely memes and computer discussion. Obviously this isn't always the case. But, I could see someone who always sorts by hot not realizing the diversity of the site.
So, if you're a little bored with your feed, or just want to see different posts, then try different sorting methods. Even if you're not, try it anyway. You might like what you find - or you might go back to your default.
In retrospect I like Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
I watched Indiana Jones & the Dial of Destiny last weekend. Seeing it made me want to revisit the series – in particular the most controversial entry, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Maybe I’m just comparing it with DoD (which I found good but underwhelming), but I watched the whole thing and I honestly think that KotCS is a decent movie that doesn’t deserve the level of hate it receives.
That’s not to say it’s perfect, nor that it can go toe-to-toe with Raiders of the Lost Ark. Its flaws are obvious. The CGI is not great and never was. The fridge and ant scenes push my suspension of disbelief. Harrison Ford’s age is a sticking point, and Spielberg’s action sequences don’t feel as exciting as 80s’ Spielberg. The parts where Mutt is repeatedly hit in the balls and when he swings on vines are downright painful to watch. And the inclusion of aliens (sorry, inter-dimensional beings) was jarring at the time.
But there are some redeeming factors, particularly in retrospect.
I genuinely enjoy the dynamic between Indiana and Mutt. It’s a good comparison to Sr. and Jr.’s dynamic in Last Crusade. I also think this dynamic has improved with time, as now we have the benefit of hindsight knowing that no, Mutt would not be taking over as the series protagonist.
The sci-fi elements don’t feel as jarring now as they once did. Two things have helped this: 1) I’ve had fifteen years to sit with the movie and get used to it. 2) Without spoiling anything, DoD’s plot and mcguffin are mostly sci-fi with some borderline fantasy, which has helped make KotCS less of a black sheep.
Ford’s age doesn’t bother me as much as it once did. I think the constant in-film jokes about his age really didn’t help this one. However, now that I’ve had a lot of time to get used to it - and let’s be honest, knowing that he’s in his 80s in DoD makes KotCS seem less extreme by comparison – it just doesn’t stand out as much anymore. But this point is probably entirely cope so oh well. <Edit> Actually, on second thought, it's kind of nice to see a story with a 50-something protagonist still doing protagonist things. It does push my suspension of disbelief seeing him do a lot of his action-y things, but I suppose it's technically possible if he's in good shape. And as a 27-year old who's been in my quarter life crisis for ten years, I find it life-affirming. </edit>
Finally, I like the story. The underlying story being told about the characters is actually pretty strong imo. I enjoy the arc of Indiana, Mutt, and Marion's relationships. And even though the main plot was panned at the time, in an age where every series is playing it safe and relying on nostalgia it’s refreshing to go back to a movie that pushed the boundaries enough to get it wrong. Again, DoD, while not bad, did not handle the characters all that well, and played a lot of things safe. It lacked incredible lows, but it lacked incredible highs too.
Despite its deep lows, KotCS does deliver classic-Indy highs, imho. And that’s why, in this era of so many blah, safe movies, I think the fourth installment of Indiana Jones deserves reconsideration.
