Threads integration must be imminent. Gotta get your nose clean before the lamestream meta users come in

I'm sure this comment will receive plenty of hate, but I'm really struggling to understand why piracy seems to get so staunchly defended by seemingly everyone here. Piracy is stealing. It is morally wrong. We can argue all day about how it's a 'victimless crime' or how media conglomerates are greedy and deserve it, but at the end of the day there's nothing that makes it 'right'. With maybe a few exceptions, no one needs the things they're pirating and it's just childish to refuse to pay for content and go on pretending it's a necessity. What needs to happen is more money going to the creators whose content we all enjoy so much.

There's plenty of places to go where you can still interact with these communities, and we shouldn't be surprised that a large and general instance wants to be distant from them. Personally I applaud the decision.

Thanks for only banning the communities and not the entire instance as a whole. That is a much healthier approach to deferation.

WTF am I reading?

Fucking retarded. Why wasn’t there a community census in this at least?

I believe most users understand the difficulties and appreciate your work...
Cheers !

I'm surprised this is so down voted, I guess there's a bunch of airheads in this community

Based on the down votes and comments I think a lot of people could benefit from reading the whole post...

All the people saying just change instances, I would and will but this being the biggest instance and calling itself the front-page of Lemmy. This sets a precedent for banning things capitalism doesn't support with out even talking to your user base. And I disapprove.

Absolutely understandable decision. I would have done the same.

Now I won't sympathize with Lemmy.world during their next DDOS attack. Solidarity has been destroyed.
