    Not only that, it was a brand new account on a totally different Lemmy instance that demanded lemmy.world admins remove piracy related communities.

    Honestly it seems like lemmy.world admins were trolled by some random throwaway account and took the bait.

    EDIT: The post in question in case others haven’t seen it https://lemmy.world/post/3175920, a new account from lemm.ee makes their first & only post in lemmy.world demanding that they defederate & remove anything piracy related.

          Understandable reason but there is not one illegally shared file in these communities. What’s next, watching a John Wick movie makes me a murderer now?

            Legal fees are expensive, even for spurious lawsuits. People and companies have gone under even when they’re in the right because the court case cost too much.

      And now the account that redirected all of lemmy.world has been banned from lemmy.world for ban evasion.

      This whole thing is weird

        yours got a bad gateway

        That’s just lemmy.world servers having their usual issues loading. Though it is kind of amusing, a lemmy.world user going to lemm.ee to view a lemmy.world post, federation is funny that way :P

      They should have asked them to change their rules instead. Sharing DL links can get the admin in trouble. LueLinks had to do away with it at one point too, and they were primo pirate site back in the day. I think reddit had r/piracy and other subs change their rules - the one that had links to mushroom spore sellers (forgot the name) had to stop sharing links to sellers that sold magic mushroom spores (not an illegal thing to do). It’s tough, but admin made guiding rules, and that breaks one of them. Plus, if it’s on their server, it could be admins head on the chopping block.

        Are you talking about a different community or instance? [email protected] does not allow direct links to content yet lemmy.world admins blocked it anyway.
