    To be honest, it’s not a huge deal. The copyright cartel can easily send dmca requests to your isp just for having text guidelines. Not everyone has the bandwidth or energy to deal with stuff like that.

    I just wish this wasn’t done at the request of a transphobic racist who just did it to get back at is for getting banned for making transphobic and racist communities in this instance.

      Don’t need lemmy world anyways. This is the most based instance on the entire fediverse. Their loss.

        One of the most popular instance. This is why federation is necessary and people should create accounts in different servers instead of pulling everyone to one server calling it tge “official” or “main” server

        At least they blocked a community and not the entire instance. This is how these things should be handled, imo

    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 :/

    Fucking Lemmy.world is hot garbage. They’re down every day and are constantly defederating with any instance that doesn’t fit their narrow, sanitized world views. It’s also one of the most recommended Lemmy’s with more new users going there than anywhere else. I think it incredibly damaging in the long run to have 50% of active users on this platform to be centralized on one domain. Especially if this domain makes as many boneheaded decisions as lemmy.world

      I joined as well. New to Lemmy. Never even heard of dbzer0 until that post. There have been a few complaints of .world degenerating other communities as well. Streisand effect.

        It’s not really a Streisand effect, because .world doesn’t give a shit if you go to those places or not - they just don’t want the liability of you doing it from their instance.

    Its fair enough. They gotta protect their ass.

    I just logged into a user made on this instance. Problem solved. And lemmy.world has had a ton of downtime anyway. Always trouble loading comments and often trouble loading posts

        Beehaw is trash (and so are people who say based)…

        Be nice as a main rule? Fuck you, this is the internet. I don’t like most of you and I think you should know it.

    Honestly, I’m ok with it. Piracy shouldn’t be something that anyone can see. More something people find after looking for it. Yes there is the con to having less users but the more users we have the more risk we take on.
