If you don't understand connection between chans, torrent sites, and piracy aggregation idk what to tell you man.
I've pirated a ton in my time but I'm sane enough to realize
A) it's fuckin stealing, which is always wrong, but often largely victimless with digital media
B) allowing it on your aggregator sites invites problems of all kinds
C) if you are blindly pirating shit and trusting torrents you are part of a botnet and don't know it
Again, there was no pirated content in these communities. None, zilch, nada, zip, zero. If that's what you're going to hang you're entire argument on then you've got nothing at all to complain about, it does not exist there.
Your ABC is basically a non sequitur, nobody was turning lemmy.world (or dbzer0) into a torrent tracker.
All social media has some people who pirate and talk about piracy on them, all of them. That does not make 4chan some special gateway to piracy that facebook, reddit, twitter, etc. aren't also.
My ABC is directly a response to a person wondering why I wouldn't want channers hanging around
Lay down with dogs and end up with flees. Piracy is always one web search away. It's hilariously easy.
I think comparing a community you aren't a member of (and clearly don't understand) to dogs is the sort of mentality I was hoping Lemmy could be an escape from.
But to reiterate a comment from my last post that you are clearly still not understanding, no piracy occurs in these dbzer0 communities. These are communities where people just discuss the news of the day as it pertains to piracy.
Whatever you're finding by googling piracy is absolutely the sort of stuff that's going to end in you being part of a botnet, though. Good lord is that a crusty and dangerous way to go about it.
