If I was logged into several instances at once in the client and seeing the composite feed and then could choose instance when replying or posting (with some set default, like from: field in e-mail clients) lemmy.world could ban piracy all it wants and it’d still be in my feed without me having to leave it or change instances.
The liftoff app has the ability to show multiple accounts across multiple instances.
Also… Lemmy.world has/will become the default at this point in time. When you eventually get big enough you even up having to cater for the “laws”.
Are they defederating from instances that are neutral as well? Or defed’ing from the privacy instances?
It’s deeply unfortunate it’s essentially made itself the “default”
Banning piracy? Like the mere encouragement or?
That instance is fast becoming moderated as just as much of a neoliberal authoritarian shithole as r/politics was 🤦
Banning piracy? Like the mere encouragement or?
Just the mere encouragement & discussion, yes. The banned communities do not allow direct links to pirated content (!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com has a rule forbidding that).
It’s strange to see people saying there was some sort of legit reasoning, the lemmy.world admins did not receive any sort of legal DMCA/NTD request or anything of the sort. They were simply trolled hard by a brand new account from lemm.ee asking to defederate from “piracy” communities and lemmy.world admins took the bait. See the post yourself https://lemmy.world/post/3175920
Incidentally that same user has created troll accounts at other instances & have been getting themselves banned, they were already banned at the dbzer0 instance (see https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/1956277) so it looks like it was simple retaliation to attempt to trick other instances into defederating/blocking them.
This is why you don’t join the popular instance. Eventually the shitbirds ruin it.
There should be an option to see all posts on our feed from all our instances. Then when commenting choose the instance from which the comment has to be posted.
ITT: Entitled twats getting grumpy that a private service won’t host their discussion about stealing content they’re definitely entitled to.
The entire point of federated social media is that you can swap instances if you don’t agree with policies. That’s the whole point of Lemmy!
All lemmy needs is to allow us to export/import our sub and block lists to make it easy tbh. Then it’ll be purrfect.
