- Comment on Did lemmy.world really defederate from the pirate instance? Totally unacceptable if so 10 months ago:
I had a feeling someone was going to reply with the “let’s ban things because they might be problematic in the future” reasoning. What’s interesting with your line of thinking is that there are many more communities that Lemmy.world admins should also consider banning due to possibly being a legal issue later on. In fact Lemmy.world admins haven’t even banned all piracy related/adjacent communities, they literally only considered the select few that were mentioned by the troll account.
I’d argue with this action Lemmy.world admins have actually put themselves in a more legally dubious position. They are now picking and choosing which sorts of liability to be exposed to. There is now historical precedence that the Lemmy.world admins specifically choose what to keep unblocked on their instance.

There were no legal issues or threats, it was just some troll with a brand new account from a different instance that tricked admins into blocking those communities. See the other post lemmy.world/post/3175920 (if it loads, lemmy.world having uptime issues as usual)
