Piracy. Lemmy.world blocked piracy related subs since they are babies. Leave Lemmy world man. Come to the dark side
Its just a link to the community [email protected]
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.
In the US, you can sue anyone for any reason, even if it's frivolous.
You force the other side to respond, making them hire a lawyer to defend you, even if the case is dismissed on its merits.
I very much disagree with lemmy.world's decision to block the community but I completely understand it. I exercised my right to move to a new instance in response.
