Lemmy.world is hosted by real people, not corporations with tons of money to spend. Getting sued could potentially ruin the admin's life, so it's perfectly understandable.
There is literally zero possibility of them getting sued over this. It was nothing but a way to cement their hold as the biggest community. Yes, this makes me a hypocrite. I'm just too fucking lazy to switch.
Sorry, why would blocking piracy communities cement our hold on anything?
Just to be clear, I wasn’t involved in the choice to block piracy related communities, but I just don’t see how blocking them helps the hosts in any way except preventing legal disputes.
They blocked the whole instance when dbzero was easily one of the biggest and quickly growing when the influx was happening. It was completely unnecessary but maybe I'm just salty and reading too much into it tbh.
Piracy. Lemmy.world blocked piracy related subs since they are babies. Leave Lemmy world man. Come to the dark side
Its just a link to the community !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
