It was inevitable and it's not their fault. Because of how the Fediverse works it means they're storing all content from those communities on their servers too. This means they're storing piracy content and can be subject to a takedown.
We knew larger instances would defederate from piracy communities at some point, don't take it out on the admins.
The communities discuss piracy, not host the content. They are two different things.
The user that requested it was a troll account create dhours before. The same user then went on to create a transphobic community and post hate. Not the sort of person the admins should be knee jerking to.
Yup, agreed 100%. The mods didn't handle this “complaint” appropriately.
I see the mods and admins are both not paying attention and are incompetent.
The Pirate Bay also doesn't host content, just links to torrents. Why has it been taken down then several times already?
When you directly link pirated content it becomes a liability. Doesn't matter if the actual content is on your own server or hosted with a third party.
Literally wasn't even an issue. Its a bad take by power tripping admins spurred on by a troll. All-round terrible decision.
Also comparing a Lemmy community to Pirate Bay is a gross exaggeration.
The user is correct. That's how Lemmy works currently
Oh wow. That could shut down smaller instances if they can't keep up with storage space.
All post and comment data is duplicate across instances. Uploaded files are not, they are simply linked to.
