lemmy.world deleted their copy of it (due to site rules, and prompted by a concerned Internet citizen)
It's probably the biggest Community in all of Lemmy, so the ramifications will be interesting.

lemmy.world has been acting very weird lately. Almost like they are the one and the only authority of Lemmy.
I moved to lemm.ee from lemmy.world after that whole hack thing a few weeks ago and it seems like lemmy.world has been going through some weird shit ever sense.

Yeaβ¦ itβs time to boogie off this instance for a while before they turn into Reddit Jr.
It's their instance, they are free to do as they wish to comply with their local regulations

More like PEOPLE are acting like they're the only authority of Lemmy.
The whole point of Lemmy is that unlike Reddit, you can give middle fingers akimbo to the server and still participate.
It's not that difficult to jump ship.

That "concerned internet citizen" was a 10 hour old account whose only post was complaining about piracy. It was a troll out for some good ol manipulation.
Hey, that's not true. They also had posts complaining about trans people existing and Star Trek fans being nerds. Still, it's admirable - in a way - the effect they had: I ask the lemmy.world admins for updates on fixing their technical issues, and get no reply. This guy makes one post, and they all leap into action.

oh well better late than never to migrate i spose
~~EDIT: nvm looks like dbzer0 has like 0 moderation (users just uploading gore to random subs and other shit) so can't blame lemmy world admin from having to defed. Shame.~~
EDIT EDIT: oh its just anti piracy, i thought it was a defed !
lemmy.world hasn't defedered from lemmy.dbzer0.com entirely, they've just blocked the piracy community.

Official statement
Making official statements on Discord, and not Lemmy is WILD
Welp, hopefully more people simply move instances.
Yeah, it sucks but it makes sense, there is no one to defend those volunteer individuals if anyone wants to go after them.

Is allowing access to piracy resources the same as hosting piracy resources? Is Comcast at risk of being shut down because they didn't block everyone's access to RARBG? This is largely rhetorical; the answer is "no". lemmy.world's admins are not being honest.

Lots of folks here with strong opinions that have never dealt with legal proceedings, or an itemized bill calculated in 6-minute increments.

They did what? How are they suppose to tell me which communities I can check and which I am not allowed to see?
Time to move to a new instance, good riddance

Huh? The Piracy community on dbzer0 is still up, just checked.
People on LW can't see it anymore apparently
Another reason to create an account on a smaller instance rather than .world

lemmy.world blocked it. I guess it is their right to do so, if you want to keep access to it move to another instance (it is not healthy that so many people are on LW).
Great, time to change instance. At least it will have > 10% uptime
Its not gone. Its just blocked by lemmy.world...
Its hosted on dbzer0
