Removal of piracy communities - Lemmy.world
alexandrite.appEarlier, after review, we blocked and removed several communities that were
providing assistance to access copyrighted/pirated material, which is currently
not allowed per Rule #1 of our Code of Conduct. The communities that were
removed due to this decision were: - !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com] - !piracy@lemmy.ml [/c/piracy@lemmy.ml] -
!steamdeckpirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com [/c/steamdeckpirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com] We
took this action to protect lemmy.world, lemmy.world’s users, and lemmy.world
staff as the material posted in those communities could be problematic for us,
because of potential legal issues around copyrighted material and services that
provide access to or assistance in obtaining it. This decision is about
liability and does not mean we are otherwise hostile to any of these communities
or their users. As the Lemmyverse grows and instances get big, precautions may
happen. We will keep monitoring the situation closely, and if in the future we
deem it safe, we would gladly reallow these communities. The discussions that
have happened in various threads on Lemmy make it very clear that removing the
communites before we announced our intent to remove them is not the level of
transparency the community expects, and that as stewards of this community we
need to be extremely transparent before we do this again in the future as well
as make sure that we get feedback around what the planned changes are, because
lemmy.world is yours as much as it is ours.
That was pretty dismissive but ok I guess?
I’m just not sure what it has to do with my critique of that instance being redditesque.
Guy is all over multiple threads fellating the world admins.
He quoted Winston fucking Churchill at me lmao
Edit: Nvm it was a different fellator who quoted Churchill
Oh no I wrote 2 comments about why people might not want to be liable for federal crimes committed by other people on their hosted instance. Really bending over backwards here.
I literally responded to you in another thread but go off
So you’re as engaged as I am getting angry about a take you don’t agree with, but I’m the one who gets homophobic attacks directed at him?
Cool cool cool.
Wow you just can’t keep a story straight, can you?
asdfasdfd
Your comment was designed as a critique of how they operate in response to their decision to remove these communities. I am explaining the likely motivation and how it is coming from a different angle. If what I said is irrelevant, then frankly so is what you said. I am responding in context to the post you are commenting on. I’d really like to not get bogged down in this pedantic/meta discussion though. If you don’t want to engage with what I said then simply don’t. Instead you chose to be dismissive/condescending.
