Wow. It’s amazing the replies here. If you want to steal other peoples work, then go elsewhere. No one owes you the right to steal other peoples content.

Now I won't sympathize with Lemmy.world during their next DDOS attack. Solidarity has been destroyed.

Yarr. But still, I support this.

Good lord, what a bunch of whiny little fucks you are. Go host your own server, maybe you'll have time after Algebra class...

Wow, so meny downvotes... Don't people know you can just create your instance of lemmy if they don't like this decision?

I'm sure this comment will receive plenty of hate, but I'm really struggling to understand why piracy seems to get so staunchly defended by seemingly everyone here. Piracy is stealing. It is morally wrong. We can argue all day about how it's a 'victimless crime' or how media conglomerates are greedy and deserve it, but at the end of the day there's nothing that makes it 'right'. With maybe a few exceptions, no one needs the things they're pirating and it's just childish to refuse to pay for content and go on pretending it's a necessity. What needs to happen is more money going to the creators whose content we all enjoy so much.

There's plenty of places to go where you can still interact with these communities, and we shouldn't be surprised that a large and general instance wants to be distant from them. Personally I applaud the decision.

You should also remove the cached content, if possible. Also no idea about the downvotes... If you don't like the decisions that an instance makes, go to another one. It's that easy.

Interesting the level of outrage. I guess if Lemmy's userbase is heavily "Reddit users who were outraged enough to leave a private platform over entitlement towards free API access and come here" then it's going to skew heavily "easily outraged".

I don't see a huge issue really - the whole point of the fediverse is there are other instances to go to. Some of them will lean more towards covering their asses, some will pop up (and get c&d and taken down and repeat) for the illegal stuff. Some will tell bigots to go fuck themselves and outrage racists, "gender critical"s, etc about free speech (this instance literally says it's not a free speech zone so what are you doing here?). Others will happily accommodate it. Pick your poison.

Ridiculous and lame movement.

Those are discussing communities only, not even hosted at Lemmy.world, in case something goes bad it is going to be against them not this instance.

Are you sure this is not a campaign to spread the load of the server?

Y'all harped on me last time accusing this shit hole of becoming Reddit 2.0. Guess I was right, although even Reddit allows those communities to exist. Lemmy.world is a censor-friendly waste of electricity.

Just ban NSFW instances instead for our mental health.

You guys shit the bed. Shiess the bed. Whatever you sourkraut fuckers want to call it. It would have been easier to set yourselves on fire in a bunker. Fascism is as fascism does. Tell us "it's for the greater good". You're just cutting away the undesirables. You admins do so much for our own good and we should be grateful you know so much better than we do. That's why you have all those updoots

Lemmy blocked his users like that.

Reddit saved her users.

Lemmy devs said "Just an instance did. Lemmy is not evil!" as it were someone else's issue, and blamed Reddit somehow.

Please kill yourselves, Lemmy.

Literally 1984
