Lemmy.world sux fuck you pricks.

piracy has been removed again

Piracy is a right of the people as far I'm concerned, a way to fight back against corruption

Never should have blocked them in the first place.

I have love/hate relationship with piracy. I love doing it but hate when it's done with my products.

Mildly irritating that I've got to manually block those communities... but it's whatever

Fuck the pirates.

Now please unremove the shroom community as next priority. Empowering open minded people with the option and knowledge to heal themselves through the use of psychadelics (and other kinds of mushrooms that can potentially help fight diseases such as cancer) that they can grow themselves without big pharma and giving them a community to share their advice+experiences is the right thing to do.

I'm glad you guys took a measured approach. This right here is the difference between a corporation and Lemmy. I can't imagine a for-profit reversing its decision in the interest of the community unless it affected their bottom line or stock price. Hats off to the admin team for working through all these complex issues.

How have you determined these communities are no longer a legal concern?

Hey that's great, good job! I'm so unused to any disappointing decision being reversed, this really is an amazing site.

To all the people saying "too late, I already switched": why bother commenting?

Show me someone who claims to have always been legit and I show you someone who has lied at least once.

I don't mind piracy much but don't rely on it anymore.

But I can perfectly understand if Lemmy wants to distance from Pirate/Warez Sites. Those Sites may cooperate between themselves but not within the Lemmy Backbone.

I think this is the mark of a decent admin team, the ability to re-evaluate a decision based on new or better data. I'm more inclined to stick with lemmy.world in the future, even through decisions I don't necessarily agree with .

I am fairly sure that good parts of that post are lies, I looked quite close at the situation when it happened and from all I could find those "takedown requests" was a single troll who got banned dbzer0 for their right extreme garbage. You also made claims about unmoderated illegal material in those communities which was simply wrong but I would have understood the move if you explained it like you do here right from the start and it's great to see a mistake reversed! I am not going to pretend that this Federation while not actually illegal can't cause annoyances and it's great to see you reverse it despite that, keep it up! :)

Yet another informative post, and a decision that takes some guts and you're willing to take on some extra work and risk in order to make the instance better

I didn't want to have to do this, but you've brought this upon yourself. You give me no choice but to... donate money to you which you so damn well deserve!

Let this be a reminder that actions have consequences!

Great stuff, thanks!
