They block the piracy community here because they’re scared of IP laws, and blocking instances is typically done if the instance is a serious problem, like grad and hexbear with their insufferable trolls who simp for autocracy and think they’ll be the vanguard party.

Sorry but this is incorrect. They get deleted before they could ever get that many comments!

Haha .ml sucks.

I’m not saying it’s nothing, just saying I think it’s massively overstated.

I mean, no? Ok let’s say you did cut off the internet, there’s still radio. Shortwave still can reach spies in foreign countries with their numbers stations now, and then there’s VHF/UHF at home etc. Snail mail still exists, so does ol’ fashioned landlines for communication at least internally even if they cut undersea telcom cables, hell I’m pretty sure CDMA would still be running, this sets us back to like 1990 at most, especially if we take this threat seriously and start implementing non-internet based (or sat internet) fallbacks just in case standard comms go down for a while until a new cable can be lain.

Like don’t get me wrong, we’d definitely feel the effects, but this isn’t some kind of world dominating shit we’re talking about here, it’s just pretty inconvenient, especially if we already have alts in place as fallbacks so we don’t have to scramble to set them up.
