If Reddit can host a piracy community, why can't lemmy.world do it? I made an account the day lemmy.world defederated with that community. After I noticed that I immediately deleted my account and switched to sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee is there as a backup. But you're right, we shouldn't hate on innocent lemmy.world users who don't know any better. It's not their fault that the admins are such morons.

reddit.com is Reddit.Inc. with investors and lawyers and content curators and admins galore etc.

Lemmy.world is idk some guy named ruud in a basement with servers or something idk. The point is they aren't equivalent resource pools to protect them from legal issues.

Right, but AFAIK he hasn't even received any legal complaints. He could have done nothing, and only defederate when some shitty media company complains.

Like I said, part of the reasons I chose to not choose it as my home instance. I get it.

[-] netchami@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I don't want to hate on lemmy.world for no reasons, but the things I described earlier turned that instance into a shit show pretty quickly. Which is unfortunate.
