I thought lemmy was anti-censorship we may need a new alternative at this rate.

Furthermore, why is a US political party being brought into this? Is the title supposed to convey some kind of statement that isn’t “oh it’s one of those weirdos”?

Yeah, I’m not getting the outrage. They don’t want to deal with the potential headaches of legal issues from piracy, and they acted. Not like we don’t have a bunch of instances to view pirate communities. It doesn’t make them bad guys, and I don’t view it as censorship.

Bud you are dense af, what a childish fucking post.
Bold declaration from a brand new account who doesn’t understand federation, or lemmy
Lemmy.world is not Lemmy.
Lemmy is a collection of instances with the express purpose of each instance getting to set us own moderation rules.
As a concept, it can neither be pro or anti censorship as the software doesn’t enforce either model.
Yes, it can. I’d rather have what you call “censorship” than put up with hate speech and bigotry - and the scumbags those things attract.
This has gotten fucking ridiculous. Move on.
Must resist urge to hit them with the PPB
The right wing brain rot is strong in this one
Can I get a tldr of what’s going on? I woke up this morning to some controversy around piracy.
They censored 3 piracy communities if you use the lemmy.world instance for your account. This is definitely censorship.
This is definitely censorship
lmfao, you can literally access the content you’re whining about not being able to access from like several dozen other free platforms, no one is censoring anything, you clown.
And what exactly were they discussing that got them shut down? Because my money would be on discussions about breaking the law, coupled with you not knowing what “censorship” actually means.
It’s only illegal if you actually host pirated content, which is banned on c/piracy.
That would apply to anyone who claims they are torrenting movies or tv shows, since you are literally hosting your portion of the files to every other torrent user. Why do you think on the reddit subs you weren’t even supposed to talk about the type of content you were trying to download?
Either way it’s not an excuse to ban the whole thing.
It very much is a reason to shut them down. When you run a server you are free to allow all the illegal content you want – see how that plays out when the cops come and confiscate all your hardware. However if that was the reason behind those groups getting shut down then the admin had every right to kill them, and it should have come as no surprise to anyone when it happened.

Again, that’s only when you actually host illegal content. Just hosting discussion about piracy isn’t enough for legal action.
Were those instances hosted on Lemmy.world?
Damn that sucks for your worldview. See ya.

Are the democrats in the room with you right now?
I’m not even American and I’m downvoting you because you are promoting content that brings value to absolutely no one.
Absolutely deranged to reference politics. That’s pretty far gone.
I don’t think they’re downvoting because of your choice of derogatory terms. They’re downvoting because it’s a stupid take. Find an instance that aligns with what you want to see. Don’t participate in ones that don’t.
