I think lemmy.world is about to be rudely made aware of how many pirates were on their site.

Might help lighten their load.

If there is one thing a pirate is good at, it's lightening other's loads!

I feel like I missed something, what happened?

[–] yukichigai@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The lemmy.world admins blocked a bunch of piracy communities from federating with their instance seemingly out of nowhere: no legal threats, no DMCA notices, no apparent consequences if they don't.

Uh, weird they didn’t say anything considering they’re relatively open about their moderation. Guess I’ll just grab some popcorn and wait.
