Do you have any proof that there are none on Lemmy? Reddit was full of them, no reason to think Lemmy isn't.
I'm also not saying there definitely are bots here, just that it's a very real option.
Pick better battles mate.

Yeah, I'm afraid they are, that's why I wrote that. What's your point?
Hand in hand with bots, possibly. I really want lemmy to succeed though, only thing driving me forward. Ah well, people haven't used their brains in the past, no reason to expect they will in the future...
I'm trying to break through the echo chamber whenever I come across it, but it's a thankless endeavor, and I'm pretty close to giving up.
Disney, or anyone for that matter, can copyright claim any video. Youtube just plays ball because that's the simplest thing to do.
It's on them to prove, in court, that it actually is copyrightable and that they own the copyright to the content, which they'd fail to do.
The win is for the uploader and for the public, since now you can "be sure" that Disney won't take you to court over it, which would be a costly endeavor for you. Even if Disney would almost surely lose.
It does change the fact that people don't have to be afraid to use any of it.
Even though Disney would lose in court, you really don't want to ever be in the same room as Disney's lawyers.
And they're pretty much required to take things down, it prevents them from being liable. After that, the uploader can challenge this decision, and if the claimer doesn't back down, it goes to court.
Unfortunately, claimers are currently not required to provide any proof, nor are they required to pay for any legal costs (at least not upfront), so it's just simpler for the uploader to take the L.
Yes god thank you.
I thought I was going crazy, every single thread that's even remotely (very remotely) connected to politics is full of this.
I'm seriously worried for the platform, because this shit is going to turn people off hard.
Even saw someone suggesting an assassination of a supreme court justice AND PEOPLE WERE FUCKING DEFENDING IT. The mods removed the comment luckily, but I still managed to get like 30 downvotes on a "don't suggest assassinations, be better than them" comment, just check my history.
We're becoming fucking Truth Social or Parler or whatever of the left.
Yep, agreed, that's the worst thing about it. Makes sense more or less otherwise.
