Are you absolutely sure about this? They suspended access to, and later restored access to, 3 piracy related communities a few months ago because they weren't sure what their legal liability was. And being as instances are owned by individuals without access to teams of high priced legal teams, that seemed fair enough to me.

Also, .world servers are not in the US so why do you imagine any US law would be enforced there?

There's absolutely no mention of any of this on their Announcement community either.

If someone causes a fuss, probably. Kinda sad really, the owner of one of the larger lemmy instances somehow ends up being a bigger corporate/government bootlicker than the corporation most of us migrated from.

You’re behind on your news about what’s going on.

Oh wow. Good that I didn't make an account on the world instance. They also started with censoring certain words, as soon as you'd hit submit the word would be redacted. Both of this goes too far in my eyes.

They also banned the shrooms community in .World. Honestly glad I left them and moved to sh.itjust.works

I've noticed an influx of bigots in threads on the main lemmy. I stand up for a trans issue and get mad downvotes and gaslighting.

No, it has nothing to do with it.
