Meta community. Discuss about this lemmy instance or lemmy in general.
Just woke up. 28 new applications! Each time i refresh the page i get two new apps.
Welcome to all former users of r/GenP! An admin is talking to one of their mods about getting their community onto here, hopefully we can work something out.
I hope you all like the Instance, and Lemmy as a whole.
But guys... You gotta read the application ;) Just because it's simple doesn't mean you get to ignore and get it wrong completely :D
As of writing this i just got 6 more applications ;-;
Came over after reading GenP was nuked on Reddit. And I suppose I am to type "I agree to follow the golden rules, GenP, 3 sisters"?
No, see revolt announcement
I am in no way against paid software.
I am, however, against
actively making sure that people, who can't afford it, don't get the software
only offering your software as a subscription service
only offering a license that can be revoked at any point instead of the actual software.
Thank you for your hard work to have us gathering here :)
Glad to be here. Can anyone give me a recommendation of a good VPN for p2p or should I get a vps and run my app from there? I used Vuze and utorrent back in the day and am out of the loop. Just tired of the 10 subscriptions these days and then my show ends up switching to a different provider that I don't have. Also, I'm boycotting Spotify and have my old iPod back out. Forgot how much I loved that thing!
if you'retech-savvy-: mullvad VPN, and a selfhosted seedbox using qbittorrent or deluge (both are FOSS torrent clients)
if you're not as tech savvy: protonVPN, (and their app suite with the "unlimited" package, its really good, and a good price for how much you get), plus qbitorrent.
and whatever you do.... MAKE SURE TO BIND THE CLIENT TO THE VPN INTERFACE

Piracy and free software helped me immensely from high school to college, and it's still helping me now in my working life. Really thankful for everyone involved in maintaining GenP and this community!
Our pleasure :p
Glory to GenP!
And the colors fly high once again.
Suffering from success
Hello :D
FUCK ADOBE
FUCK NESTLE
welcome new friends! can someone fill me in on what's going on with GenP?
Subreddit got shut down by admins, and the discord (can't reach it sadly) is telling their users to come here :D
they were saying about cease and desist letter and that the server might be deleted in some time
Adobe thought it would be funny to send a cease and desist to Reddit and Discord which were our only two communities. We just switched to Lemmy and Revolt, and will setup a self-hosted matrix server in the future.
the fact that all of this happened just because of a discord ping is so wild 😭😭 but glad to be here!!
I like popcorn.
Can you expand what went on?
Same.
In the official discord server they promoted revolt/dbzer0 a lot. I joined both (before the revolt existed) and pretty much fanned the flames lmao.
Nice admin. Met lots of cool people.
No idea what genp is about, but welcome!
Same. I refuse to go to reddit to get this question answered but if a refugee can do the needful that would be appreciated.
GenP is a software for pirating adobe afaik. @[email protected] too
Oh that's cool, Adobe can fuck right off. Welcome everyone!
Ah cool. I wish Adobe actually lost money when people used it, but unfortunately piracy doesn't work that way 😞
Seems like they're in the right place.
Welcome ya'll. If you didn't bring a pirate hat of your own, feel free to pirate one. Or indeed, anything.
Sorry you lost your old home, but also, you're going to be so surprised when you realize the fediverse is like the old internet. (To that end, I recommend lurking until you're comfortable and understand the whole... fediverse... thing.)
The community alone has ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND USERS... That's 10x our whole instance userbase 💀
Hopefully some of the new users will bring cool communities/niches with them :D
Thank you for keeping this important project going! Glad I was able to follow it.
Hey, nice to be here
Thanks for the help fxomt! Glad to be here!
