I love the approach some mods have been taking towards this - the "3DS hacks" subreddit mods turned off all the automod filters keeping people from mentioning piracy sites and told everyone they only need to follow site rules from now on.

The userbase has currently taken to posting 3D shacks.

Kick seems to be getting more attention from streamers moving of their own accord than Facebook or Mixer did, at least. I doubt it'll go a lot better than Mixer in the long run, but it's at least better for everyone on Twitch if they have competition to worry about.

I understand blocking an instance like lemmygrad where the target audience of the server itself is an issue, but blocking large general-purpose instances seems like it'll hurt the growth of the platform as a whole, which is critical at this point when people are moving away from Reddit. Luckily the post reads as if this is a temporary thing, but I almost wonder if the fediverse thing might not be for them if they want to close off their community to this extent.

I also don't know what this means for moderation of pre-existing Beehaw posts - is it just kicked off to the admins of the blocked instances?

I don't have much experience with the software itself, but the associated musescore.com website is notably extremely monetized, putting downloads of all of its user-generated content (sheet music, MIDI files) behind a paywall. Supposedly, the software has similar concerns as newer versions of audacity related to the company that maintains the project (and Audacity) adding telemetry but I'm not familiar with the details.

Tenacity is a fork of an older version of Audacity. I'm not exactly sure which version it's based on, but using it was a seamless transition for me. This wiki page goes a bit into the history of the project and what prompted the fork.

I see the music industry as the "greater evil" here, but I think I'm rooting for both sides to spend a bunch of money (by normal person standards, it'll probably be a drop in the bucket for them) on legal fees before the inevitable settlement requiring Twitter to create a Content ID-esque system for videos.

I would also remove MuseScore and Audacity from the list and add Tenacity as a replacement for the latter

You can still follow Beehaw communities (or ones on any other instance) from this instance, you just have to view them from lemmy.world. If you check the "all" tab under "communities" you should be able to see some of them and also search for them.

I think I'd consider this more along the lines of homebrew unless it gets an official, Nintendo-licensed release for the original hardware. Star Fox 2 is in a similar boat since Nintendo did officially release it in 2017, but only as a bonus for the SNES Classic and later NSO.

Do you know if there's a drop-in replacement for PRAW in the works? It would be nice to be able to port bots over easily for communities that relied on them.
