    Wait, are you actually on their side for this move?

    Which was a suggestion by a troll user at the end of the day?

      Do you have an actual counter response to the facts I’ve given? My first comment covers it all pretty well. Additionally, it’s not like a single user made a recommendation and the decision was sealed.

      I’m not against piracy in general, I’m not attacking these communities. My point is there are very particular precautions that are required to prevent issues running that type of content and it creates a great amount of risk to every instance that is syncing with communities like that. It by no means prevents anyone from making another account and still accessing it all but it does protect lemmy.world from getting into legal issues that could have a very significant impact for the entire instance.

      It’s exactly why there are other rules that apply as well, for not only moral but legal reasons. The US and allies have quite a large reach, the copyright owners have deep pocket, and they love making special mission names targeting such communities.

      imo multiple users across multiple instances for different activities is the way to go anyhow.
