Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So how’s it going?
I get what you’re saying, but it wasn’t like they received a dmca notice or cease and desist. It was just a random new user asking them to do it. I just don’t see how they could have got in trouble immediately without the option to defederate or block those communities in the case of a legal notice.
In any case piracy communities all know not to post or host any direct links. Even reddit’s piracy subreddit has lasted for a long time.
I guess the beauty of the fediverse is that it’s simple enough to move to another instance instead of just losing access.
Yeah it definitely comes across as a bit of an odd sequence of events. I seem to recall there were more examples of similar actions from lemmy.world as well.
It’s possible that request prompted a review of what was allowed, and they realised those communities broke their rules.
Not saying it was necessarily the right decision, but it doesn’t necessarily mean something nefarious went on.
