They're not just talking about piracy, they're linking to it. There's piracy subs on Reddit too and they're allowed because they are very careful to only talk about it and not link to it, and they're severely gimped because of that. What's great about lemmy is that instances that are on with the risk can do so without having to follow anyone else's rules and users can access it by simply having another account.

I think the media companies have been abusing the DMCA to go after people who link to pirated material. also, I'm starting to suspect world is trying to get funding because they're trying to "clean" the site up in exactly the way banks/VCs require for loans. it's a conservative interpretation of the law, especially the recent rounds that purported to go after human trafficking but actually forced major websites to take down anything remotely objectionable.

Wasn't the admin of .world one of the ones who went into the NDA'd cocksucking meetups with Meta?
