Wow. Itβs 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.

The fact that there was no announcement before the banning of the communities is not great, but good on you for acknowledging that mistake.
It's unfortunate that this action had to be done, but it's also understandable. It's not about what's right or wrong, and it's not even about whether there actually is any illegal content in these communities. It's about the fact that the Big Entertainment Companies don't care about the difference and see it ALL as bad, irregardless of whether it actually is illegal or not. If the admin team had a legal team and the financial security to fight back, then it wouldn't be as much of an issue. But they're not, they're just a bunch of regular folks, so they're being cautious and trying to pre-emptively prevent these problems from coming up, especially as Lemmy continues to grow every day.
The beauty of the Fediverse is that you can always switch instances or make an alt account.
Fun fact: "irregardless" is a nonsense word.
I like it though.
You do you, but from an outside perspective you might want to consider, going forward: it makes you sound like an idiot.
Language evolves
That would be "devolves", technically. I'm aware of linguistic morphology, and you certainly have the right to choose your own speech patterns. For instance, do you also say "should of" instead of "should've"? π€
Honestly fuck off. I came to Lemmy because I'm sick of people telling me what I can view and how I can view it. Guess I'll go find another instance again.
You can view whatever you want anytime you want and your don't need kemmy.world's permission to do it. This is the point of the fediverse.

Time to switch instances
Ahhhh right, we are now one step closer to become the new redditβ¦
π you do realise there is literally nothing stopping you from accessing that community. Right? Some people just look for minor shit to be outraged about istg

Aight peace βοΈ you do you. Gonna go sail my ship over to another instance.
Iβm guessing the idea here is to eventually sell out to a corporate operator
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
Thanks for only banning the communities and not the entire instance as a whole. That is a much healthier approach to deferation.

The copyblight strikes again.
This decision was the logical one, however, it was only rendered logical because of the awful state of copyright law.
The people whining are not the people that could face multimillion-dollar lawsuits over the issue. Like it or not, media companies are powerful and will go after websites seen as promoting piracy. Do what you reasonably have to do.
