Earlier, after review, we blocked and removed several communities that were providing assistance to access copyrighted/pirated material, which is currently not allowed per Rule #1 of our Code of Conduct. The communities that were removed due to this decision were:
We took this action to protect lemmy.world, lemmy.world’s users, and lemmy.world staff as the material posted in those communities could be problematic for us, because of potential legal issues around copyrighted material and services that provide access to or assistance in obtaining it.
This decision is about liability and does not mean we are otherwise hostile to any of these communities or their users. As the Lemmyverse grows and instances get big, precautions may happen. We will keep monitoring the situation closely, and if in the future we deem it safe, we would gladly reallow these communities.
The discussions that have happened in various threads on Lemmy make it very clear that removing the communites before we announced our intent to remove them is not the level of transparency the community expects, and that as stewards of this community we need to be extremely transparent before we do this again in the future as well as make sure that we get feedback around what the planned changes are, because lemmy.world is yours as much as it is ours.
Ok Karen
Karens ask to speak with the manager. They don’t walk out in a non-confrontational manner. Don’t be stupid on purpose to look clever.
Then why comment? Sounds like they needed everyone to know they had made a decision and everyone else needed to hear it before they left. Sounds like a Karen to me considering that’s exactly how the fediverse works.
If you don’t like it then host your own instance with all the blackjack, hookers, and liability you want; instead of bitching about what toys someone else has in their sandbox.
Lmao you assume I have some horse in this other than pointing out your dumb comment.
Wasn’t even my comment, do you practice being this stupid or does it come naturally?
So you’re just here to make up strawman arguments even though you weren’t even the original commenter? Lmfao and I’m the stupid one. You spend your time in some weird ways guy.
No, I’m here to point out your stupidity and add to the conversation as a whole, and I think I did a bang up job.
You sound like such a prick haha
