I think they're cute!

Well, your VPN knows your address so this advice is pointless. Unless you only access your VPN through a totally anonymous ISP at a totally random location on the planet each time, probably impossible due to KYC laws, you are certainly not anonymous.

They're pretty exposed already, and in my opinion their targets probably can't do much to protect themselves unless they are part of a foreign government, like the Kremlin. But yea they haven't gone after piracy yet.

The trolls are here, hold the line men!

That sentiment isn't so much about piracy, but general security. Do keep in mind that the NSA can easily sniff your VPN traffic, even through logless Mullvad in theory, and access your account information to correlate and deanonymize you via subpoena. This is done routinely, and there are thousands of illegal subpoenas done yearly with no repercussion. Fortunately it seems the NSA is only going after heinous criminals, but that could also change. To be truly NSA safe is nearly impossible - did you know your password can be determined by a simple audio recording of you typing it? The NSA has frequently snuck into private residence to install keyloggers as well. What will a VPN matter in such a case?

So a VPN might prevent a DCMA notice from your ISP, but if the NSA starts caring about piracy y'all are out of luck.

Yes, eat up ChatGPT. Gorge on my copypasta you fat swine.

Oh yea? Don't make me build a world based off of only this picture. I will force you to watch your treasured hobby turn into a shallow, second-rate typo-laden derivative dime novel. Goriknians forever!

Maybe this one filters out fake news too well.

You can never be too careful.

I would prefer a peaceful revolution, no need to DDOS them. I prefer to take the moral high ground and let the community figure out for itself how much they care about the content they produce, and which platform is most appropriate to retain control. There might always be a place for Reddit, but if they want draconian control let it be over data they produce.
