Just had a look there and they're talking about the removals too, someone commented saying the word 'bitch' is censored here too?
Are there any Lemmy instances that have a policy against any censorship? I'd rather use one that doesn't defederate or censor anything.
Yeeeep. I stopped using my LW account once you people simped to Facebook federation.
Personally, I believe copyright should last five years max, but I understand this is merely a hypothesis and not everyone has to agree, but that's the beauty of mankind. Additionally, the beauty of the Fediverse is anyone is capable of finding their own safe haven which shares their views =)
Because you're so scared of corporate lawsuits you may as well defederate from any union-positive instances as well.
Just to mitigate risk of corporations that wouldn't appreciate it at all. Never know when you might get sued.
Personally, I think this was a terrible decision and I think it's abundantly clear you will lose users for this. I used this as the reason to self host my own instance. Good luck.
I don't think this is a lemmy.world problem as much as it's a Fediverse problem. Assuming that the only reason to block these communities is legal safety, we should figure out what is legally unsafe and see if that can be enforced on the piracy communities, or everyone in the Fediverse could also be at risk and should block these communities.
I know that the piracy communities themselves are already taking these kinds of measures to make sure they are not unsafe, so if anything is found we should solve it together. If push comes to shove, I suspect that piracy communities would rather restrict themselves than risk taking a stand and endangering others. It's not that big of a deal to skirt legal concerns while still being a useful piracy resource - /r/piracy existed in much the same state.
Bwhahahahaha Reddit is more liberated than Lemmy, what a fucking embarrassment.
What's the line, self-censorship is the first sign an authoritarian has won.
