Beauty of fediverse, people can just find another spot or move to another instance while most of the community continues no problem.

Just an example that system working as intended

but only if you know enough about the fediverse to be aware; if i had no logged into like i usually don't do on these days, i would never know and spend the rest of my time on lemmy.world trying to figure out why i can't find any pirating stuff to share.
I would think it would be the responsibility of lemmy.world to put up a notice of why they’ve done this, if they’ve not then that potentially reflects badly on them (but I don’t know enough about the details and reasons).
True, would have expected something in [email protected] but there’s been nothing announced there.
Makes me a bit suspicious that there is any credibility to the claim. We’re going off a supposed screenshot of what looks like a Discord message?
If you try to access one of the blocked communities from lemmy.world you’ll see it’s blocked, dude
That… would’ve been a good idea to try ha.
