“Unremoval of Piracy Communities” https://lemmy.world/post/6018317
This post needs to be updated to reflect the current policy.
Six months later, a new Removal of piracy communities announcement confirmed that these communities had been removed. !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which was the most popular piracy community, is still inaccessible to lemmy.world users. This is misleading: users see the old post, sign-up, and then find out they cannot access the community.
Please edit the original post to include the new removal announcement.
defederates Feddit
You say that as if it’s a gotcha, not a boon
If censorship is what’s being criticized, it’s no different. This is why I tell people not to use db0.
Used to be the first thing we’d suggest but it’s just become such a nanny instance that jumps on everyone’s shit.
We vote on who we want to defederate from. Our vote threads even have cool pirate themed images and stuff.
They even make less content an event so you can celebrate your own loss?
Things are done there by consent. I see that’s something you don’t approve of.
Seems kinda hypcritical. Aw well, hivemind gonna hivemind.
Do you even know why the vote to defederate from Feddit came up? It’s because there are quite a few Palestinian genocide apologist accounts from there. It’s like the Nazi bar problem, you tolerate a few hanging out there and suddenly everyone else leaves while it gets full of them. I’d rather not hear that shit myself.
Imagine being so Reddit-/.world-brained that you think of instance democracy as “hivemind gotta hivemind”
So long as communities based on a common theme exist online, there WILL be a hivemind. Much like how we are not immune to propaganda, online communities are not immune to bandwagoning.
Go make your own “censor free” instance and stop whining, jfk
