I genuinely do understand concerns about legal issues and the risk of facilitating illegal activities- but its not even hosted on their instance, why would it mater that the communities EXIST. They're literally hosted by someone else...?

[–] CapillaryUpgrade@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 1 year ago (9 children)

But it is hosted on your home server.

When you subscribe to a community, your home server downloads the content and passes it on to you.

This is not like when The Pirate Bay was allowed to live because it only hosted torrent files and not copyrighted content, in the fediverse, you copy the content to your own server, and pass it on to the client/user, which means hosting the content.

I wish them luck in their quixotic quest to police the entire lemmyverse

that’s just a troll, downvote and move on

*downvote, block, and move on. Makes the moving on part more efficient.

no, don't block. blocking only makes it so that you don't see that bs behaviour, but it's still there. instead, report or if you are mod/admin, ban outright. if you want to block anyway, at least report beforehand

I claim user name of Bungiefan. I came up with it, so it's mine. All posts made under that user name are now my intellectual property.

What’s this drama now? The “anti-piracy” person sounds like a troll. Especially if they’re shit posting like this on a piracy-focused community. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Lemmy.world admins are the worst fucking dweebs on the fediverse.
