  • Basically I don’t believe in intellectual property in the first place, so I consider the whole debate moot. It becomes obviously absurd when you try to think of how to apply the rulings of actual property. For example if I have an OC and “lend” it to someone, what? Am I not allowed to draw it anymore? Will they sue me? How do I return a stolen OC? Are we really going to consider piracy a major sin (stealing)? Accepting IP as property would also imply that it never ends, and literally nobody does that.

    Intellectual property should be seen for what it is: A system thought up by the British to make the rich richer that has about as much Islamic legitimacy as, say, segregation.

    Edit: Also you’re generally not going to get many replies from Muslims here seeing as the number of Muslims on the Threadverse is in the single digits.













  • I don’t think it is, maybe we are due for another growth spurt but from here on out I genuinely think a critical mass has been achieved where it will simply make more and more sense for people to come here.

    Maybe for English and a handful of major European languages, but there’s no way I could recommend the Fediverse (at least the Threadverse; I don’t hang out on Mastodon) to an Arabic or Japanese speaker. In that area it’s still severely lacking.




  • Adding to what the other person said, when reporting on Palestine until like a year ago (and for certain parts of the political spectrum even now) it was essential to avoid making any statements that have holes, real or imagined, for Zionists to exploit. That’s why the official casualty count is an underestimate, and why the number of women and children is stressed so much. Israel used to (and sometimes still does) always get the benefit of the doubt, so making sure the facts being presented are ironclad has/had to take precedence over covering the full extent of the madness.
