Well at least lemmy.world is starting to look more and more like shit. Can’t keep the servers up, keep defeding, absolute nonsense.

they are volunteers paying from their own wallets to keep this going. You aren’t entitled to anything on the feddiverse. grow up.

And the end product isn’t very good, regardless of effort.

The instance wasn’t defederated. Just the community blocked.
SteefLem@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Why tho. I can block an instance myself if i dont want to see it. This does not make sense.

They want to avoid lawsuit. Which are probably going to happen to dbzer0, I don’t know where they are hosted, but they might get in trouble once they reach a large userbase

The server and owner are in Europe. Though the anti piracy laws here are tough. Honestly can’t blame them.
There are other instances that don’t have this issue though.

Because community content is cached on other instances, so you can find all the content from these piracy communities under the lemmy.world domain as well and this is likely to be interpreted by law enforcement / a judge as providing this information.
kratoz29@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Which doesn’t makes it less shitty.

It does. Defederating basically blocks all their communities and users for everyone on your instance. It’s a far bigger deal than blocking a community
I still don’t agree with the decision, but it’s a matter of scale
