This community got removed from lemmy.world (again) - Divisions by zero
lemmy.dbzer0.com
This is another post that alerted me of this. https://lemmy.world/post/13287681 [https://lemmy.world/post/13287681] And here is the modlog: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveCommunity [https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveCommunity]

This has happened once before and they reversed it. But they said this last time too:

The discussions that have happened in various threads on Lemmy make it very clear that removing the communites before we announced our intent to remove them is not the level of transparency the community expects, and that as stewards of this community we need to be extremely transparent before we do this again in the future as well as make sure that we get feedback around what the planned changes are, because lemmy.world is yours as much as it is ours.

      The benefit is that it isn’t just another reddit but rather network of reddits

      Banned on one? Get from another.

        I’m referring specifically to lemmy.world, not to all of lemmy or even the fediverse.

      To be fair, Rudd is just a hobbyist who runs .world in his spare time. If he’s getting legal pressure, he’s probably going to cover his ass. He’s not a company with a legal dept. He’s a guy with a family and a day job.

      When the people using a free service you’re not obligated to provide try and shame you for not taking on multimillion dollar legal departments.

        The communities they banned are only for the discussion of piracy(whick is legal). There are no copyrighted material hosted in any of them.

          It doesn’t matter if they’re blessed by the Pope himself. The people who run the instance get to decide what moves through it.

            Yes, and I can voice my dissatisfaction with it. I’m not sure what your point is other than trying to tell me to shut up in a more verbose way.
