removed again wtf

Wonder if this has to do with Piracy instance being listed as the largest lemmy community a few days back. Guess it might attract the wrong kind of attention.

Yeah no, I ain't sticking around. Next time try and ask the community on how to approach things before acting yourself.

Now I won't sympathize with Lemmy.world during their next DDOS attack. Solidarity has been destroyed.

This is a real shame, and highlights to me that the federation model might be wrong. If I want to access these subs now, I have to create a new account and I wish I didn't have to. I wonder if the federated part should be user federation rather than instance federation?

something something blockchain?

Sad. This instance showed me how amazing Lemmy could be. It's not me, it's you. Please get better.

Thanks for the links. I didn't know about these great communities (mostly because I didn't look ;) )

You are doing the right thing, assisting piracy is illegal in probably all countries. Sadly nothing but trouble would come from allowing access to those subs to continue.

Maybe there could be a legal loophole in that those subs were on a different server, but personally I wouldn't take that chance either.

IDK that admins should be handing out preemptive bans for fear of legal action. How about defederating from all NSFW communities b/c I could argue that the majority of their Content is not OC but is re-posted material without the copyright owners permission. Just a matter of time before someone sends a cease and desist. Or for that matter, what step are NSFW communities taking to make sure the content uploaded is consists of models of legal age? Or the content isn't revenge porn and has the models permission? Now I'm trolling here because I think your decision was dumb, my feelings about it, sorry, but everything I just described here has the very real possibility of happening. Where do we draw the line. Anytime someone posts an article and a tldr bot scraps the article and posts it in the comments are robbing the original "copyright" holder of the article of the traffic that would have gone there for people who would have read the article on the site, but have now never gone to the actual address. Like I could be one petty ass hole, actually I am here. However, all of these examples could occur, TBH probably a matter of time. So you need to do sweeping deferation to a lot of communities, or grow a fucking pair, and just take action when action needs to be taken. Whatever, i can still see it from mastodon, but still dick move guys, you were supposed to be the chosen ones, only reddits deal in absolutes.

@lwadmin, you are probably not the first people trying to sort out an issue like this.

Can the hosting for lemmy.world be moved somewhere where privacy laws are stronger and be payed using privacy crypto like XMR?

Would probably secure lemmy.world from more then just the piracy lawsuits, other stuff as well.

Maybe Njalla?

You should also remove the cached content, if possible. Also no idea about the downvotes... If you don't like the decisions that an instance makes, go to another one. It's that easy.

It's arguable, but that's what federation is about. No default instance, you pick those you want to participate in and agree with, and their admins have their choices too. It's neat.
