The people you see here on Lemmy are the minority IRL.

Even to most of my Redditor friends, I’ve had to explain to them what Lemmy even is, what the fediverse even is

[–] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 13 points 1 year ago

I absolutely think piracy eclipses the Fediverse in popularity.

Most people may not be on Lemmy, but don't forget that there are far more poorer people than those who are well-off. They don't endure price hikes and splitting services as much as others might.

my NAS and usenet indexer have already paid for themselves

[–] isles@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm succumbing to my data hoarder desires, NAS upgrade parts littered around me. Let the TB flow.

Somewhere, the former CEO of blockbuster video has checked themselves into a mental institution recently.

I've been too lazy to switch back to pirating so far but as soon as I get motivated to set it all up Netflix is first on the chopping block.

I set aside a weekend for it and used open media vault. Highly recommended.
