      Lemmy.world is hosted by real people, not corporations with tons of money to spend. Getting sued could potentially ruin the admin’s life, so it’s perfectly understandable.

        There is literally zero possibility of them getting sued over this. It was nothing but a way to cement their hold as the biggest community. Yes, this makes me a hypocrite. I’m just too fucking lazy to switch.

          Sorry, why would blocking piracy communities cement our hold on anything?

          Just to be clear, I wasn’t involved in the choice to block piracy related communities, but I just don’t see how blocking them helps the hosts in any way except preventing legal disputes.

            They blocked the whole instance when dbzero was easily one of the biggest and quickly growing when the influx was happening. It was completely unnecessary but maybe I’m just salty and reading too much into it tbh.

      Ugh. I do like the idea of defederating in theory, but this is the third time I’m going to have move instances because something I want access to is blocked.

      Is this just a ‘me’ problem or something everyone has to deal with from time to time?

        We all gotta deal with it on any instance that is not your own. It’s not unheard of for people to create their own lemmy instance so they have exacting control over their federation.

          I have a simi-public instance, I made the decision to not federate with the NSFW instance as having [posable] non-consensual/underage manga/other content that is treated much harsher here than Piracy ( that is a pure civil thing here) and keep federation with !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

              I haven’t had any issues. Mods of the communities I’m subscribed to usually handle it before I even see it. I mainly only deferedate for political reasons, like Threads.

        I had the same issue when initially coming to Lemmy, and made several accounts before I got so annoyed I did the research and chose an instance specifically for its federation/defederation policies; which led me to where I am now.

        Lemmy.zip has defederated only illegal content such as csam and gore, as well as meta because fuck corporate.

        I just generally dislike the idea of an arbitrary censorship list being applied to my content feed, I can choose and block myself.

          I have both an account on Lemmy Zip and on Monero Town and both of those are really good about not defederating most things.
