.ml banning the dbzero admin instead of defederating will never not be funny.
"The users are fine, it's just the admin"
Wasn't that Hexbear that banned dbzer0? Or was that also Lemmy.ml?
I could be misremembering, but I can see dbzer0 content so I guess both instances came to the same conclusion lmao.
Neither DB0 nor Unruffled, the admins of DBZero, are banned on lemmy.ml. You're definitely thinking of when Hexbear did it.
.world, hexbear, and another big one all defederated with dbzer0 since they host a lot of piracy and grey area legal content.
Hexbear is federated with dbzer0, I have no idea why you think otherwise. They banned the admins for being Anticommunist, but left it federated because Hexbear is pro-piracy and there are cool dbzer0 users
Ah my bad, might have gotten my instances mixed around, I thought there were three big instances that defederated with dbzer0
There may have been, but Lemmy.ml is fine with Piracy it seems and Hexbear is explicitly pro-piracy.
I think it's just lemmy.world, and they actually aren't defederated from dbzer0, they just blocked the piracy community specifically. I think dbzer0 is pretty much fully federated with all the major servers except for lemmygrad. With .world blocking the piracy community, it only affects their users, dbzer0 users can still participate in any lemmy.world content.
Is this one of those things where lemmy users "remember" things that happened to hexbear, or are you telling me that the dbzero admins also got themselves banned from .ml and dessalines also decided not to defed?
