People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

I think we should be able to co-op a digital library... Say, the Internet archive seems to be just that!
Why is it under constant attack? Oh yeah, greed.
Why aren't we able to digitally host a communal library where each owner can "buy in" access by contributing a library?
Like a digital replication of each piece of physical media owned by a person?
You mean private trackers? Fr those who are against piracy seem to be missing the point. For me it's about refusing to pay into a corrupt system where the creators get very little of what they make. The agencies get the majority. Which is why I pirate from Ubisoft, buy from Humble Bundle, steal from the corporations, purchase from the independents, donate to charities and exploit the greedy.
I've been out of school since 2017 so I don't know for sure, did publisher really drop textbook prices to around $20 during the pandemic? None of the books I needed to buy were under $100.
