    Situations like these are the strength of the fediverse. Move your account to an instance that shares your values or doesn’t care about stuff like this.

    Maybe you shouldn’t even have had your account on the largest server to begin with?

    Edit: Didn’t mean to ridicule any of you all. I based my comment on my experience when I signed up. At that time there were plenty of instances to pick from and getting approved at my instance of choice was very quick. My bad.

      Maybe I didn’t have my crystal ball nearby when I was creating my Lemmy account.

      Maybe many users will have an account on the largest server, because by definition it’s the largest server, with the most users. 🙄

    Might be worth remembering here that Lemmy instances, including .world are hosted by regular people. Not massive multinational companies worth billions who can engage the best legal talent around.

    If Hollywood comes after a Lemmy instance, Holywood have a huge legal team and endless money. The Lemmy instance has some guy. They could quite literally destroy a persons life. With that in mind, I don’t blame any instance owners for erring on the side of taking a stance that won’t put them in the legal firing line.

    Wtf dbzero was a huge proponent of the fediverse and has been a part of the recent swell in users. I don’t agree with this decision at all

      I mean if you support illegally hosted material you can be forced to take down your website. As much as it sucks, piracy is illegal. Anyways, they haven’t defederated, just blocked that community.

        In many jurisdictions what they’re doing there isn’t illegal at all. It is well understood that you do not post links out in the open.

        Downloading isn’t illegal, sharing is. At least outside of the US (and a few others)
