No one talked about respecting copyright or patents.
For me personally piracy is pretty much irrelevant as I don't find most of what mainstream culture produces to be very interesting and don't mind paying some producers of non-mainstream culture directly if that helps them survive in this capitalist hellscape.
And from a more revolutionary perspective you could even argue that copyright works in our favour as most of the culture behind the paywall is subtile propaganda for capitalism and definitly acts as a pacifier that distracts and isolates people.
But personally I think piracy is a good example of anarchist calistenics, so I don't mind people doing it.
Sure, I just take issue that any of this means our instance is "Anarchist-individualist" and whatnot. We are accepting of non-anarchist users with the aim to educate and agitate, but our ethos, even when our stance on piracy or GenAI is involved, has always been communistic.
