Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.
Avoid AI generated content.
Avoid misinformation.
Avoid incomprehensible posts.
No threats or personal attacks.
No spam.
Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

I have no idea why anyone left the high seas in the first place. The wind blows so gloriously strong out here, and the more the merrier, so come back to your past to build a future together.
All these shitty streaming companies need to be collapsed. I’d rather make my hard earned cash walk the plank than give any of it to them.
When Netflix was the only player in town with all the content, it was fine. But now it’s just back to what cable packages once were.
Even then Netflix had the same problem it has now though where it has plenty of content, just not what you want to watch
Because in the end, I'm not against paying for a service that, albeit small, does somehow sustain the actual creators of the content. That was before it all enshittified ofc.
Same reason why I usually pay games on steam or gog. Paying for goods is the "right" thing to do, so if the annoyance is low and I can, I prefer to pay.
With media though, the annoyance went through the roof again a long time ago.
I've noticed lately that my GPU fans turn on and my power usage spikes when I turn my monitor off. Only when I turn my monitor off. Weird GPU driver glitch, or have I gotten infected with a very sneaky crypto miner from one of those pirated games...? It's sus. Very sus.
If it's windows it's telemetry or MS Office, try watching network usage and blocking MS processes, they don't need the constant connection anyway and your PC will run faster. If it's Linux you might want to check on that and fix it (real shit).
I know it's more a hypothetical thing, but have you tried monitoring your processes as soon as you turn off your monitor?
It's been so long, I've honestly forgotten how. I could use a quick crash course considering how risky it all feels with ISP surveillance and all that jazz
The db0 instance's piracy community has a megathread pinned at the top that may be helpful. If you have any questions that aren't addressed in any of those links, you can always post there and ask - there's lots of helpful people. I was like you and I've learned a lot from there!
Here's a direct link to that megathread: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/30393940
There's also fmhy.net!
There are content that there is zero torrents for.
I mean you do this "strategy" where you can just queue up a bunch those niche ones on a .txt file, then when ready and have time, get only 1 month subscription to binge it all, then cancel when it ends... xD
