The /r/piracy link to lemmy /c/piracy hit the reddit frontpage with 7K+ updoots!

reddit actually defended the piracy subreddit? lmao
Yep. I made a point to troll then with that at the time.

Sadly /c/piracy is blocked from .world I think.
Unremoval of Piracy Communities - Lemmy.World
Hello World! As we’ve all known and talked about quite a lot, we previously blocked several piracy-focused communities. These communities, as announced [https://lemmy.world/post/3234363], were: - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]], - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]], - [email protected] [/c/[email protected]], and their local counterparts as follow up actions. In our removal announcement [https://lemmy.world/post/3234363], we stated that we will continue to look into this more in detail, and re-allow these communities if and when we deem it safe. It was a solid concern at the time, because we were already receiving takedown requests as well as constant attacks, and didn’t want to put our volunteer team at risk. We had zero measures in place, and the tools we had were insufficient to deal with anything at scale. Well, after back and forth with some very cool people, and starting to have proper measures as well as tooling to protect ourselves, we decided it’s time to welcome these communities back again. Long live the IT nerds! We know it’s been a rough ride with everything, and we’d like to thank every one of you who were understanding of us, and stayed with us all the way. Please know that as users, you are what makes this platform what it is, and damned we be if we ever forget it. With love, and as always, stay safe in the high seas! Lemmy.world Team ❤️

Apparently it once was but was unblocked

Later on there was drama because they blocked it a second time anyway. xD

I find Heinz beans a bit watery. I prefer the supermarket own brands to Heinz... Branston's are much better and tastier, with a thicker sauce. Still, YMMV and all that jazz.
Oh, I forgot an annoying trivial issue: the Heinz cans don't stack up well (lock into place with one can on top of another).

Arrrr! Welcome aboard, ye scallywags!

It's still commercial, proprietary software

Announcement stands at a high number of downvotes. The people have spoken, the admins did not listen.

I don't think I've ever seen any other post with 2000 downvotes and -1000 overall score. Those numbers are really big. But at the same time LW has way too many users and communities on them so I can understand them not wanting to play legal games on top of that regardless of factuality. It's a free platform and changing instances is easy (as long you don't have communities to move).

Welcome! If you have any questions about the fediverse or piracy in general, feel free to post or shoot the community some questions in this thread. We're glad you made the switch!!!

It has felt GREAT at lemmy. Lot of content and great discussions. We don't NEED more people. Yes, more people bring more diversity and that will help a lot. The one downside for lemmy is that it doesn't have all the niche groups that reddit does but that takea time. Lemmy is maturing amazingly imo.

:motions at trillions of times people that signed up for Fb, Ig, Twit, TkTk, etc/everything without reading the Terms of Service:

Excellent pirate choice!

Yeah that and the stance towards thre*ds was what showed me that I don't want be live on .world.
-
lemm.ee is a good general alternative to .world.
It should probably the default suggestion or selection now.

Welcome to Lemmy.ca! You chose well, we've got a pretty good admin team here.

It's a bit of a mixed experience. Overall, federation has its benefits, but it also tends to encourage cliquish behavior among groups. Sometimes, entire servers get blacklisted for various reasons. Reddit has a lot of corners that don't violate its current ToS, but in federation, ToS isn’t usually about pleasing the most people and pulling them into your platform, it's more about the ideals of your server admin team. That’s a good thing, I suppose. It’ll be interesting to see how things play out with Lemmy federations when Reddit bans porn.
It’ll be interesting to see how things play out with Lemmy instances when Reddit bans porn.
Especially as many Lemmy instances don't want to host or moderate NSFW content. I don't blame them, but I'm also doubtful pornlemmy could handle the load (pun intended).

Having looked at the NSFW Lemmy instance I 100% expect the Reddit refugees will try to host their own instances. Some of them. I also expect them to be defederated pretty quickly.
