Oh lol at someone from .world speaking authoritatively on anything. I left your dumbass instance for a reason.

How could a business owner set up their business so that other people couldn’t simply shut it down on a whim in such a manner?

you might have anxiety or some sort of fixation on rejection.

The person you’re responding to isn’t putting OP down.

Sure looks like a fucking put-down to me.

Again, you are taking a very valid concern that other people aside from OP have, that has prevented justice on serious issues, that other people in the thread provided evidence for and you’re defending a knuckledragger whose only response was to blame OP and invalidate their emotions by labeling them with a mental disorder they do not have the knowledge or authority to apply.

And of course your alt-right yee-hawing cousin-fucking ass from the right wing instance is going to defend an action that obscenely and blatantly cruel because you do it to people all the time and you don’t want to admit what you’re doing is wrong.

Don’t come crying when your ass loses your job because someone purposefully bullied you in public, got you angry enough to yell at them, then recorded you and put the video on Twitter. Which happens to a lot of people. Just tell yourself what your dumb fuck friend told OP, it’s all in your head and you just have anxiety even though it’s clearly other people actively abusing you. See how you feel then, genocidal Nazi

Holy shit, and now you all are labeling OP mentally ill for voicing a valid concern and getting upset when you all do the exact same thing they were afraid you would do

You scumfucks are fucking incredible.

Still waiting for the ability to block instances as a user.

They sure are, bro. They sure are

And what’s most important is you putting smart people down to make yourself feel superior to them

Just let the community do it themselves.

No you don’t get what I’m saying, because I am explicitly telling you I am not playing your game. My ethics are my personal boundaries, not trivialities up for debate. OP wanted to know what they were, so I shared them. That does not make it open for debate, nor is my refusal to allow it to be put up to debate, up for debate.

Take the hint and go away.

It’s reductive because it’s not meant to convince you. It’s simply what is. You asked me why I thought it is moral and those are my reasons why, and they’re gonna stay that way whether you like it or not. They don’t have to be reasonable or sensible or in line with your worldview. You don’t have to agree with them. They don’t even have to make sense to you. They’re MY reasons, and they are valid simply because I hold them, because I say they are, because I decide what’s ethical to me and what’s not. That’s all.

And you have to put up with that whether you want to or not.

It is to me. Most content is corporate generated consumerist garbage anyway so it doesn’t matter. Our right to access content is more important than a creator’s right to restrict access to it for profit. It’s information and ideas. And we are entitled to all information and ideas. I am entitled to it simply because I say so, and if you want me to stop, you’ll have to kill me.

It’s as simple as that.

All of it. Piracy is in no way unethical.

Then we’ll just have to build and migrate to alternatives, which is preferable anyway. That’s how the internet was supposed to be.
