Madbrad200It would appear lemmy.world has blocked this community
sabreW4K3Wow, I mean all instances are free to what they wanna, but banning a sub seems extreme
FoxBJKThey must be paranoid about thinking that even the slightest link to any kind of pro-piracy conversation or community will get them sued into the ground.
Sounds more like stupid than paranoid.
I think the admins dug themselves into a hole tbh - last week they preemptively defederated from an instance because the admin doesn’t agree with their political ideologies and said that people from that instance might break the Lemmy.world rules so they need to be banned up front. Now this unhinged person posted a thread pointing out that privacy is against the Lemmy.world rules too, so they kinda had no choice unless they wanted to look like hypocrites.
Rikudou_SageYay for power-tripping.
And the fact that I can see this means sh.itjust.works hasn’t, yey
neither has lemdro.id!
TheGreenGolemNor lemm.ee. And hopefully that won’t change.
Spacellary has ReddthatHopefully it doesn’t change for reddthat.com as well.
tevsame for pawb.social
ᴇᴍᴘᴇʀᴏʀ 帝The admin at Feddit.uk said they’d use defederation only as a last resort.
addieMight be biased, but that’s obviously the best instance.
Obviously or we wouldn’t be on it.
Coincidentally I just made a lemm.ee account today
Zaxo23I’ve got an account on Lemmy.world and on there  [email protected] isn’t showing up as well…
Thanks for pointing this out! You’re right…
nullThis sub just got a new member. Thank miss Streisand :)
Same here =) just because fuck Lemmy.world
kratoz29When Kbin releases his API I’m gonna be there too!
Is that the thread on .world that someone created an account on .world specifically to complain? What an asshole.
Do you have a link to that thread, I can’t find it
DemigodrickDefederate From lemmy.dbzer0.com - Lemmy.world
They are a lemmy instance dedicated to the facilitation of piracy, and copyright infringement in general which is illegal. It is by nature in violation of the rules of your instance which prohibit illegal content, therefore it is imperative that you defederate it in accordance with your policies.
47 Alpha TangoSeems a bit short sighted. There are some games, movies and TV shows that simply don’t exist to buy legally or even second hand.
Torrenting is the only way in some instances to preserve content.
steboAlso as long as no illegal content is shared, but is only referred to, there isn’t really anything illegal about it right?
Sure, just like gas stations “tobacco” papers for smoking cigarettes, not weed.
CharlesReedYep, I don't torrent that often, and when I do it's usually because something is out of print and all the publicly available scans I can find online are really shitty. The torrents more often than not have pretty decent quality.
Interesting, I’m fan of 1970-80 European comics, I’d love a torrent aggregator feeding scans from that era…
Depending on what exactly you're looking for, they're probably out there, it's just a matter of finding them, and then hoping there's enough seeders to get it to download. The last thing I went searching for took me nearly a week to find, and then another half week to wait for someone to get online to seed it from, but I was determined lol
tronFucking Lemmy.world is hot garbage. They’re down every day and are constantly defederating with any instance that doesn’t fit their narrow, sanitized world views. It’s also one of the most recommended Lemmy’s with more new users going there than anywhere else. I think it incredibly damaging in the long run to have 50% of active users on this platform to be centralized on one domain. Especially if this domain makes as many boneheaded decisions as lemmy.world
A lot of people register there initially to get their feet wet and move on to another instance later for these reasons. At least we have subscriptions/blocks transferring tools now.
Yep. I started there, found it down all the time and then moved on.
I’m fairly new, what are the tools?
step 1 - go to reddit
step 2 - ?
step 3 - profit
unfortunately i don’t know the specific answer, but you might find something interesting here:
I would like to move to a different fediverse please.
This is the tool I used: Lemmy Account Settings Instance Migrator
I also used LASIM but I remember someone else mentioning another took that could do multiple accts at once. check out this list for it and more tools.
transistorThis is what I did.
MarxineI did it the moment they decided not to defederate from Meta. I don’t like admins who can’t take decisive actions to protect their users (and apparently seem to bend their knees to any big corpo out there)
That sounds like a contradictory stance
quirzleI think it incredibly damaging in the long run to have 50% of active users on this platform to be centralized on one domain.
I agree, but 50% is still better than 100%. I definitely appreciate that I'm reading about this while being totally unaffected personally rather than just disappearing entirely like what happens with a banned subreddit.
We badly need Lemmy clients that can merge instances even if they’re defederated, as well as the other way around, filter out entire instances even if your instance won’t defederate from them. Letting instance owners dictate what you can or cannot see is not the way.
There are clients that will do the former but I’m not aware of any that will do the latter. I don’t understand why, it can’t be that hard to filter users and communities by instance.
RedjardI wanna say connect could do it for a while now. It’ll certainly come to many clients
I believe Memmy has a filter for communities and instances.
CH3DD4R_G0B-L1Nit does, but its broken. the list resets every time you close the app. At least on the full release current build
100% spot on. I got called all sorts of names for pointing this out, but maybe my own fault for pointing it out on one of their posts! 😅
maajThe snitch came from your instance btw. Keep an eye out for @[email protected]
I deleted my .world account
same account name (different instance) is also posting transphobia on lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/nomoretroons
Bruh what the actual fuck.
Its been deleted now, but that person has successfully trolled every lemmy.world user and is obviously full of hate and intolerance.
The shit that really gets my goat, is that they had this patriotic spin to their comments about how it’s illegal. Like sure, whatever but you could just stfu and mind your business, y’know? Oh well, trolls gonna troll and get banned, lol.
The goal is to get people reactionary about it so it’s good to recognize and completely ignore them, not even a downvote.

MonsieurHedgeBungiefan_ak appears to have literally two hobbies, and they're being anti-piracy and actively a fascist.
Funny how that works out.
I think lemmy.world gather the kind of redditors that like sanitized world views, the power of decentralization makes us choose an instance without those hot garbaje takes as Lemmy.world.
primalanimistI started on lemmy.world because it was the most popular server at the time and I didn’t really understand how the fediverse worked. I spent the first month sort of just learning to stop trying to think like I was on reddit. The federation feels to me like pirate TV/ ham radio, people broadcasting their visions and worldviews while rebroadcasting other stations/nodes. Each instance, has it’s own “feel”. I see the entire instance I’m on as a greater solarpunk community, which is filled with smaller, related communities of people all sharing their own interests.
This is a memory of how the Internet was first envisioned by many people, before the corporate takeover. I am interested in FOSS, I am interested in “piracy”, I am interested in any exchange of knowledge that helps us work together, spread skills, and empower communities, both virtual and on the ground.
But all that aside, lemmy.world is just too unreliable for it to be my entrypoint into the fediverse. Which is why I looked around and found a place that feels more in line with my own sense of hopefulness for the future.
They should have shut down registrations a long time before they gained such a majority of users.
They stand behind the lie that “if we didn’t let people in, they wouldn’t know where to go”… as if it’s so hard to create a new registration page that re-routes people to other instances.
I’ll never understand the selfishness of people like that. They know they’re actively hurting all of lemmy, but they want to keep all the users to themselves. This thing only works if it’s a collection of smaller instances.
nyakojiruLet the garbage go there
did they give a reason for that?
Not yet unfortunately
