LW blocked three communities on db0, but they didn't defederate with db0. This means LW users can still talk to db0 users, and db0 users can still access LW. At the same time, content from db0 will not be mirrored on LW servers. Basically, they've covered their arses from legal issues, while not cutting ties entirely.

As I understand, LW servers are hosted by a German company, and Germany is rather strict on piracy. So I understand why they had to do this.
