Wow! Even Reddit hasn't shut down the Piracy subreddit.

Well, this is goodby to lemmy.world! Rest in pieces

Always relevant, and will be for any large Lemmy server.

Begun, the Lemmy Wars have.

Guess I gotta instance hop. I need me mateys

One would think the devs would dedicate some time to fix this particular failing of Lemmy, because "download the entire internet of a site because one (1) user posts in one (1) community in one (1) server" is just ridiculous from a lot of standpoints, both technical and legal.

I love all the salty comments about having to move. Its piracy, it will always be removed if it becomes too popular. This is how it has always been and always will be. No one is obligated to feed you free shit without any effort on your part. They take one place down and you move on. Either get used to it or start paying for services.

I just created an account on lemm.ee - thanks for the info.

Who is actually "infuriated" by this? Some idiots?

Well at least lemmy.world is starting to look more and more like shit. Can't keep the servers up, keep defeding, absolute nonsense.

What a disappointment.

Time to make an alt account asap

This is basically why lemmy is a hassle. One shit gets blocked, you move and register then you learn these guys are alt-right or peddle child porn or some other bullshit and then you have to register again and again. It's confusing and quite annoying.

Well glad I had already started changing instances.

That's disappointing. Guess I'll join another instance.

Better to insulate the major instances from potential liability. If people want to find the piracy channels, they can.

I don’t care about the piracy community but people are complaining about they having to create multiple accounts and saying Lemmy will never reach critical mass like this…

But why would we want to reach critical mass? I don’t want to sound like a gatekeeper but growing just for the sake of growing is never been good on anything.

Specially as Lemmy is still an alpha software. And people are still figuring out how is the better way to moderate ourselves instead of waiting to Big Corpo to do so.

This is part of being an early adopter. You give feedback, sometimes things don’t go your way, other they hear you out.

I’m loving the experience so far. The Fediverse still is not mature enough (we block fast) but we are still figuring things out.

Oh no, anyway. The community itself is still available for the adventurous.

Rule 1 is too vague.

No illegal content, including sharing copyrighted material without the explicit permission of the owner(s).

They can defederate with any instance with this rule. Why not just say "because we want to"?

Kind of a shitty move really

To try and counter some of the stupidity in this comment section: There is nothing illegal about the piracy community and not even Reddit blocked it, the dbzer0 server has been one of the most civil and well managed around and this is a rediculess move!
