@CHEFKOCH banned me for criticizing a Bloomberg article that didn’t link to any primary sources. He claimed I was being “disrespectful” for that criticism…
This doesn’t make any sense to me, and I would avoid that sub, if you’re looking for critically reviewed content, or debate of any kind.
Yes he loves banning people as well as deleting comments he disagrees with.
Those people seem toxic: even the most “credible” news sites write lots of biased emptu-worded speculations every day but they will intentionally avoid providing sources to increase the chance readers share their article instead of the primaries. Stop reading !privacynews.
RIP popcorntimes, you will be missed.
Yeah, I’ve never read an article about FOSS project that doesn’t link to said project.
My speculation is that the article was designed to subliminally “shit on” pirate software, and linking to it would defeat that purpose.Beneath this repo there is an idea, and ideas are bulletproof.
bro, what do you expect from bloomeberg article? that kind off content should be banned here. mass media mogul platform with clickbait titles, pseudo science hidding commercials and articles like that about popcorn, semi truth with picky wording. Popcorn is not dead, maybe some big film production company wish so, so they pushed article like this out and bloomberg was happy to help, oooh uuuh shocking popcorn, the huge movie client with pirated video content is down ooh uhh, shocking. fuck bloomberg and all other similar media. and also fuck mod, there was no reason for ban.
It’s also funny that he implied I was a “clown”, in his comment where he locked the thread: https://lemmy.ml/post/138233/comment/104243
Apparently that’s not “disrespectful” .
I opened another thread to discuss the difference between “criticism” and “harassment”: https://lemmy.ml/post/138266
He also never posted any piracy articles prior to the /r/piracy mod getting approved as a mod here. He’s just being a troll out of spite

One problem specifically with “popcorn-time” is that there are a bunch of copycats that claim all the others are spyware! Who or what the “official” version is, requires rigorous debate.
Without a reference to who the original author is, or how they know they got the right guy, any sufficiently knowledgeable reader is forced to question the credibility of the article =/
