I think lemmy.world is about to be rudely made aware of how many pirates were on their site.
Might help lighten their load.
If there is one thing a pirate is good at, it's lightening other's loads!
Yarr, I'll be walking the plank myself matey!
yeah, probably make it more stable
They're not making any money from this anyway
I feel like I missed something, what happened?
The lemmy.world admins blocked a bunch of piracy communities from federating with their instance seemingly out of nowhere: no legal threats, no DMCA notices, no apparent consequences if they don't.
Uh, weird they didn’t say anything considering they’re relatively open about their moderation. Guess I’ll just grab some popcorn and wait.
They said something on discord apparently.
Ah yes, my favorite open platform for mass announcements lol
Oh, yeah! That app that totally EVERYBODY uses even though it’s really garbage for information! 🤠
