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.
Lemmy.world sucks donkey balls and this isn’t the only example.
Reddit 2.0. Always has been.
Considering how powerful is the copyright mafia (Remember that the pirate bay founder got jail-time) I totally understand why the people running the instance are doing so. I get why user are pissed off, but they’re free to host their own instance and deal by themselves with the legal liability
Lemmy.world continues to prove that their biggest utility is in attracting the bulk of the Reddit Crowd so that other, more specialized communities aren’t overwhelmed, and the older worlders can then join a better community for the long-run.
…attracting the bulk of the Reddit Crowd…
But r/piracy is still an thing. Crazy.
And it’s a shell of it’s former self. A lot of the serious members switched to c/piracy, db0 being the prime example
Another lemmy.world L, don’t know why anyone bothers with that shitshow.
Lemmy.world is designed for people who want another Reddit. Interacting with their users & communities tells you all you need to know. I’d be a fan of defederating, tbh
What are the design features of lemmy.world that make it stand out here?
The instance beef is annoying to me, but i’m not here for the politics talk, maybe that’s why i don’t get it. I see pleasant and unpleasant users coming from all kinds of instances.
Piracy@lemmy.dbzer0
Thanks for pointing it out. Time to stop using my Lemmy world account. Bye-bye
Edit: or more likely just make another account and main it.
Interesting. This and other actions seem to hint that they got themselves into the crosshairs of legal law enforcement. You reap what you sow. I suggest that people don’t ignore potential issues with an instance, because it does spill over in unexpected ways. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FFdbbcj4Ao

Not a suprise .world is like the most liberal instance I come across,
They’re literally having a circlejerk right now about how they should defed .ml bc they’re convinced it’s a Hexbear-orchestrated honeypot lmfao
My favorate is I think it was them, right after they defedded lemmygrad they premptivly defedded hexbear… when Hexbear never had plans to federate with them
also I need to see this … This will be hillarious, but I mean I would like to see .world try, if any instance could survive on their own it would be them, but I am not sure they can.
What does that have to do with anything?
Because they’re the ones toadying up to the actual capitalists; panting like dogs in heat for a crumb of acknowledgement from their self-selected ‘betters’.
Liberals are ideologicaly pro capital, and pro IP, Piracy stands in the way of both of them. It would be expected that they would block it. Honestly just a matter of time
…says someone from a lemmy.ml account?
Edit: Poked the hornet’s nest…
You mean someone with a 2 year old account? You know what instances existed 2 years ago?
Spoken like someone who thinks the only criticism of liberalism comes from the right.
Lemmy.ml is majority leftist, ie Marxist or Anarchist, not liberal.
I know the kbinner isn’t talking 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I mean are you trying to say I do not come into contact with enough instances? I mean I will fully admit that I am an out and out Marxist-Leninist, I do not see how that comes into play with me saying it is the most ideologicaly liberal and narrow of the instances I regularly contact.
I still do not see how my instance has to do with my political annalisis. I think my name would be a much more effective hit here. .ml is a general purous instance… I literaly have red army in my name. Not only does trying to say “Your a filthy red” not change my analisis, but you did not even use your one chance to chose the most obvious part ot say “OMG YOUR A FILTHY SCARY RED OMG YOUR COMING FOR MY TOOTHBRUSH” I mean, I cannot say I was expecting better, but I am disapointed none the less, my account is literaly the name of one of my dogs, and declaring they are a part of the Red Army, the Army of the USSR… I feel like that would have been a much easier grab
So Reddit can but Lemmy can’t? Sad.
Well, a quick reminder that Lemmy.world is not all of Lemmy. Nintendo, the RIAA, the MPA(A), and other lawsuit-blasting organizations would have to tackle every single Lemmy instance.
Sure, one threatening letter is all that’s needed to scare most server operators, but since there are a large variety of hosts located in jurisdictions around the world, it’s not as simple as taking out the big player like it might be for Reddit.
The unfortunate truth here is that Reddit is a company and Lemmy instances are usually run by a few individuals.
We just don’t have the politic barrier or resources to stand against the pressure
Seems quite reasonable to remove illegal communities given how Lemmy works with the caching of all content locally. There is just a significant legal risk for the instance operators involved here.
Talking about piracy on lemmy is still not illegal, in most places.
That doesn’t stop the media industry.
Sounds like the media industry is the illegal community if they enforcing their will as law when there is no such law.
They don’t even need to win the case. They just need to bully the smaller person until they go bankrupt and shut down.
Merely discussing piracy is not a crime. And that’s all that happens in that community
It depends on the kind of discussion. Incentivizing other people to break the law is illegal in most places
Then arrest the execs making those incentives; not the consumers taking and distributing notes on them.
Wannabe capitalist-tier commenting; tfu. Your breath reeks of Oxford polish and your brain is poisoned by vain, childish notions of ‘owning’ ideas like there’s just an infinite supply of those under the sun.
Piracy is not breaking the law. Fuck capitalism!
If buying isn’t owning then piracy isn’t stealing.

That saying isn’t trying to explain all of IP law. It’s referring to products where there is no way to buy a copy you have permanent possession of. There’s a reason you don’t see the same fervor around pirating books.
Spoken like someone who either can’t tell IP law is one of the main mechanics by which the white supremacist “rules-based world order” maintains its strangulatory, thieving grip on the world; or someone who relishes in that fact. Either way, unworthy of bending an ear to. “Those who do no research deserve no voice.”
Me: ip law is complicated.
You: you’re wrong, it’s used for (even more things).
Wrong. My point is it is not worth regarding because it is an unjust ‘legal’ mechanic. That which is unjust demands breaching; such is the core of civil disobedience. Hence why I find your trying to quibble about how complicated it is like it even deserves heeding, or like you even deserve the point of view you’re trying to push so fuckin funny.
Glad to have amused you then. Hope you won’t take it too seriously, I certainly won’t.
The funny thing about Lemmygrad people is that you could tell me that this comment was an intentional caricature and it’d seem just as likely as it being genuine.
And the funny thing about kbin people is you strut around like you’re some kind of enlightened Top Mind apart from the rest of the nazi bars and radlib echo chambers ActivityPub graciously lends their backending to when you’re really no different from the rest of the hive.
Whether or not it’s moral or ethical is separate from it being legal, and it’s definitely illegal (in the US).
But it’s not, they’re not doing actual piracy there, they’re talking about it, and that’s very much not illegal
Tell that to the person I replied to, not me, because they didn’t say anything about talking about piracy.
Tfu
Look, I agree with the feeling behind what you are saying, However its important to remember Morality is not the same as Legality, and while they can sometimes overlap they are difrent cosepts, Piricy is moral, but not legal. If you ask me, it is A ok to do somthing that is moral but illegal

How do you define “illegal community”
