This has happened once before and they reversed it. But they said this last time too:

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.

    Evidence No. 3783 that “social media” and “privacy” do not mix well together.

    Let me repeat one more time:

    • anything you write online should be considered public.
    • There is no “consent-based” fediverse.
    • There is no “GDPR protects me from that”.
    • There is no “security through obscurity”.
    • There is no “dark corner of the internet”.

    No matter your morals and ethical values, If you need to have any type of conversation that you think might get you in legal trouble, do not have this conversation in a public forum. Use #matrix if you have to, and even then you’d still need to worry large group chats which may have some undercover agent.

    And if you are really concerned about “censorship”, then ActivityPub is not for you. Go join forces with the bitcoiners and use #nostr.

      Oh oops, you haven’t pasted some cool copyleft licence below your words on this niche thread on a niche social media network so looks like I might remix and reuse your content without attribution… Unlucky

        I think you got the wrong person, the copyright guy is someone else.

          I’ve seen a few people doing it, but I (and literally any companies scraping instances for content) just lol and move on.

            I feel like I’ve only seen one, maybe two people doing it, but I guess there might’ve been more.

      And anything you write or upload to Lemmy should be considered permanent, as it immediately spreads throughout all the instances and they actually don’t have to respect edits or removals. And if instances defederate from each other then they simply can’t, as they don’t sync those requests any more - if Lemmy.World decided to defederate from Sopuli, this message would become permanent and I could not do anything about it.

      Also, this who saga about the uploaded ID picture.

        Not at all. I myself have been playing with the possibility of adding support to it on Fediverser, to have a place for the mirror bots.
