There is no “maybe”, that’s exactly what it is (it’s in the OP’s link).
Lemmy.world may be one of the largest instances but it never promised to be a straight Reddit clone. While it’s still figuring out scaling up and still attracting large DDOS attacks, the last thing they need to be dealing with is DMCA claims and letters from copyright lawyers.
This is the beauty of federated social media. Don’t like the rules? Go somewhere else.
And yet linking to legally finable content on servers run by other parties can incur fines on the order of 50k-250k over here in Germany. I’ll be honest, if I ran any we site I’d be removing anything can be constructed as such a link, too.
Chances of me getting fined would be about 0, but it’s really not a risk I’d be willing to take. And this is the largest lemmy instance so if anyone where to go after lemmy, they’d go after world.
I remember they once tried to sue someone for linking to a torrenting site, so I’m not sure how linking to a piracy community works. AINAL. Just saying, in a way I can see admins rather wanting to stay as far away from such topics as they can, especially given how lemmy.world is the biggest lemmy target right now, hence the constant DDOS outages, too.
They are afraid of liabilities, maybe…

Me? I currently don’t care… I am not interested in that community, I know that people who are interested can still visit it from other instances.
Oh come on. Its not like world has pirated files on their server which they share with everyone or something. Its just info.
If they are that scared might as well stop with setting up lemmy servers. Or block all that fucking kiddie hentai communities
