Yay Lemmy.world, you kicked yourself in the dick, congrats.

Who cares. Lemmy.world sucks. I got tired of the constant server issues and switched a while ago. It took me like 5 minutes to find another instance and create an account. If my new instance does dumb shit like this, I'll just move again. Isn't this the whole point of Lemmy?

Eh, so what? Migrate to another instance.

Well, this is goodby to lemmy.world! Rest in pieces

This is basically why lemmy is a hassle. One shit gets blocked, you move and register then you learn these guys are alt-right or peddle child porn or some other bullshit and then you have to register again and again. It's confusing and quite annoying.

I am so glad you can just avoid an instance moderated by clowns and enjoy the full experience with the fediverse.

Always relevant, and will be for any large Lemmy server.

One would think the devs would dedicate some time to fix this particular failing of Lemmy, because "download the entire internet of a site because one (1) user posts in one (1) community in one (1) server" is just ridiculous from a lot of standpoints, both technical and legal.

Begun, the Lemmy Wars have.

Guess I gotta instance hop. I need me mateys

Rule 1 is too vague.

No illegal content, including sharing copyrighted material without the explicit permission of the owner(s).

They can defederate with any instance with this rule. Why not just say "because we want to"?

That's disappointing. Guess I'll join another instance.

Well glad I had already started changing instances.

Better to insulate the major instances from potential liability. If people want to find the piracy channels, they can.

Kind of a shitty move really

I don’t care about the piracy community but people are complaining about they having to create multiple accounts and saying Lemmy will never reach critical mass like this…

But why would we want to reach critical mass? I don’t want to sound like a gatekeeper but growing just for the sake of growing is never been good on anything.

Specially as Lemmy is still an alpha software. And people are still figuring out how is the better way to moderate ourselves instead of waiting to Big Corpo to do so.

This is part of being an early adopter. You give feedback, sometimes things don’t go your way, other they hear you out.

I’m loving the experience so far. The Fediverse still is not mature enough (we block fast) but we are still figuring things out.

What a disappointment.

I just created an account on lemm.ee - thanks for the info.

Time to make an alt account asap

To try and counter some of the stupidity in this comment section: There is nothing illegal about the piracy community and not even Reddit blocked it, the dbzer0 server has been one of the most civil and well managed around and this is a rediculess move!

It was inevitable and it's not their fault. Because of how the Fediverse works it means they're storing all content from those communities on their servers too. This means they're storing piracy content and can be subject to a takedown.

We knew larger instances would defederate from piracy communities at some point, don't take it out on the admins.

Oh no, anyway. The community itself is still available for the adventurous.

Wow fuck that.

I'm going to home on lemmy.today or lemmy.sdf.org.

What the heck?

Seems like my backup account is about to be my main account after all LMAO.

For legal reasons? Isn't lemmy.world hosted somewhere else but the USA?

This is bullshit honestly, I hope they back up from this decision.... Unlike Beehaw defederating from others because of light reasons.
