After a thread was made in !support asking to defederate from lemmy.dbzer0.com for "the facilitation of piracy, and copyright infringement in general which is illegal", the admins of lemmy.world deleted it prompting discussions on !asklemmy[@]lemmy.ml and !piracy[@]lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Did they not know that piracy was a community before this post? It often hits front page, and is one of the very active communities. Even Reddit still has a piracy community ffs. At least take some time and/or get some feedback from the users before you take some off the cuff rash decisions.

LW admins proving as incompetent as Reddit admins. Let's not forget they can barely keep the site up.

I get that you’re upset about the piracy community being blocked, but calling the lemmy.world admins incompetent is completely uncalled for. The site’s been hit with intermittent DDOS attacks, and since Lemmy is a fairly new platform there aren’t a lot of tools to mitigate these attacks. Hence the need for cloudflare.

Being the biggest instance, lemmy.world gets to experience all the growing pains of scaling up Lemmy first. The lemmy.world admins have been on top of things and open about status updates throughout all this. They’ve even found solutions to issues in the Lemmy code and issued pull requests to implement them.. And they’re doing this as unpaid volunteers.

I’ll wait to see what the admins have to say about this but this may push me off the server.
