I understand why they did what they did and it makes me think of how db0 and other admins are saying fuck all and taking a very big liability for making and supporting a free internet and i want to say all the work you do is very much appreciated. Also shoutout to lemmy.ml admins for running a similar community on their own .
Links for supporting the db0 server and do consider donating as it is running behind on expenses.

Yeah. I have a lot of concerns over how much market share .world has and some of the really questionable things the admins have done (removing protections related to hate speech from their TOS, having a policy of wiping all comments of a user and accusing them of pretty heinous shit, etc).
But I 100% support this particular action. We run VPNs and use burner emails when we pirate stuff. They don’t really have that luxury due to the nature of web hosting. So kudos to the instance owners who are willing to play with fire on our behalf but… I sure wouldn’t.
.world admin definitely directly defended nazis (literal promotion of direct nazi policies and whatnot, not ‘I don’t like you so you’re nazi’)
I linked to aforementioned content posted by a fellow community mod and politely asked if he could be removed and I got instantly banned from the whole instance.
Like, a no would’ve sufficed 😂 just banning me from the instance definitely just makes me think you agree with it.
Excellent and appropriate point to make. The real problem is with the deference that copyright and “IP” are given in courts around the world, and the way trade agreements force members to adopt similar stances in their legislation and prosecution. Even if IPFS can help our cause in some way, the industry will waste no time criminalizing it.
Sigh… 46 and 2
