  • Not sa far as I know.

  • Who's that?

  • I’ve seen the controversy where lemmy.world defederated from 2 piracy instances.

    No they didn't. They blocked 3 communities from 2 different instances. All other communities on those instances are available to .world users and .world is still available to all users on those two instances.

    Blocking individual communities is not the same thing as defederating from those instances.

  • Did you even read the post?

    We took this action to protect lemmy.world, lemmy.world's users, and lemmy.world staff as the material posted in those communities could be problematic for us, because of potential legal issues around copyrighted material and services that provide access to or assitance in obtaining it

  • I dunno man, when it comes right down to it, who are any of us really? Y'know?

  • Neither of those two memes you just linked to are about religion or criticising the Islamic religion, they're both unoriginal, tired takes on trying to equate muslims with terrorism.

    Do you post memes about violent attacks by christians? Or Judaists? Or Hindus? Or Bhuddists? Or is it just the Muslims you save that for?

  • I'm not saying they are or aren't. I'm simply saying that we all know the big media companies go after people at the drop of a hat. They recently tried to get reddit to expose the identities of people discussing piracy over there. To their credit reddit told them no and defended themselves legally. And that's the issue. The media companies can accuse anyone of anything if it even slightly smells like piracy and the target has to legally defend themselves. This is fine if you're a multibillion valued company. Not so fine if you're just some guy who just wanted to run a Lemmy instance out of his own pocket.

  • I don't know about you but engaging a lawyer and going to court to defend myself would be a massive financial drain. And to risk that on simply the hope that a court might find in my favour is far too big of a risk. Then add on all the unwanted public exposure, the internet notoriety etc. Fuck that.

  • That's a bit naive, knowing what we know about the sharks that run the large media corporations. For your average instance owner, it's not a question of being found not liable, it's the fact that you as an ordinary guy with an ordinary life and an ordinary income suddenly have to defend yourself legally with all the exposure and expense that entails, from day one.

  • Nothing. It's just 3 communities on dbzero that are blocked and as far as I know, they're only blocked on .world. There's no defederation so you as a user signed up to dbzero can still participate in any .world community and any .world user can still interact with communities on dbzero apart from the three named.

  • Might be worth remembering here that Lemmy instances, including .world are hosted by regular people. Not massive multinational companies worth billions who can engage the best legal talent around.

    If Hollywood comes after a Lemmy instance, Holywood have a huge legal team and endless money. The Lemmy instance has some guy. They could quite literally destroy a persons life. With that in mind, I don't blame any instance owners for erring on the side of taking a stance that won't put them in the legal firing line.

  • Also, installation instructions that don't assume you're already an expert.

  • Are all their apps/backend open source? They have a github repo but it's not very clear what's open source or if its partial open source or what. I think it's just their mail app and windows desktop app.

    If that is this case, they're asking their users to have a lot of trust in them.

  • Better that than making no difference at a club going nowhere.
