    I think this is better tbh, I personally don’t like it when piracy forums/sites/whatever piracy related thing goes too mainstream. Maybe it’s gatekeeping, I don’t know, I just don’t want another Z-Library incident.

    Either way, they probably aren’t even against piracy, they’re probably just lazy and don’t want to deal with any of the issues they could potentially face down the line.

    Edit - grammar

      I kind of agree, with the caveat that I think it’d be super cool if the existing dbzer0 members also checked out other communities on different instances and made Lemmy more popular. I feel like that would be a win-win.

      The more mainstream and well-known dbzer0 becomes, the more likely it is to have problems because of that.

        We already do :) It’s all federated so dbzer0 members can view/subscribe/participate in other Lemmy communities.

      i honestly think the z-library incident was a one-off because it was spread by colleen hoover fans on tiktok so i’m hoping that it won’t happen again… but maybe that’s just wishful thinking :/
