I noticed some comments saying “You can’t pirate free software”.
I would take that as a challenge, so here’s how to pirate Lemmy.
Firstly, “free” software is extremely rare. Lemmy isn’t free, its governed by the AGPLv3.
Per the AGPLv3, if you pull the author attribution/licensing text, say “I made this” , and start distributing it out, you’ve committed copyright infringement and illegally distributed it (piracy).
So, that means we CAN pirate Lemmy:
Fork the existing Lemmy repo into our own project
Remove all reference to the original authors and licensing and put your own name on it.
Change the name to something else and start sharing it out.
Optionally charge money for it
NOTE:
Never let someone tell you that you can’t do something.
