I think a this is a bigger issue then just .worlds stance on piracy. Lemmy.world has put it self forward as the “front page of lemmy” but has now also removed one of the largest community using lemmy. And did so with no input on a discord server (not on any instance). This front page status was already shakey with all the down time and clunk. This seems like maybe not the best side to show new users.
The issue is that they have called themselves the “front page of Lemmy” and have taken the role to represent all of us to the larger world. This is I think the reason it rubs me the wrong way. Any other instance did this, cool. This one, not so cool.
I think the issue is that .world has put itself forward as some sort of super lemmy. The landing page for new users. I agree people should move but also that we do kinda need a superish lemmy, but one that maybe has all the good and bad. Would it make any sense to have an instance that has no communities of its own but also has all the instances?
Just wondering and looking at the mod log for one admin and maybe I am crazy but are they unbanning and rebaning users? (Keep in mind it goes new on top):

What? I am actually confused here, are you saying anyone can represent a group or individual without their permission or knowledge? And this is not some ethical issue?
I don’t think it is so difficult but I also think that would lessen the depth and breadth of lemmy as a whole by limiting full participation behind self hosting.
I can not in good conscience do that and my statement had nothing to do with the nature of the fediverse. I am saying it is a bad look to tell the world you represent Lemmy but also censor instances. This is not a fediverse technical issue but a broader more general issue of integrity and claims.
Why are the thank you posts getting upthings when they provide no substance? I mean the tone above is not very nice but at least it highlights the need for migration tools.
But they are the ones putting themselves up as the superlemmy instance? They are trying to convince people this is the new reddit but somehow that there would be nothing questionable posted?
The advertisement and push they did on sites like reddit and their listing on join-lemmy.org (when they where still listed) made them the biggest instance. And with the name Lemmy.world they did nothing to dissuade anyone from thinking that. If this was all randos pushing the instance then boo to them, but I also saw nothing from .world not claiming to be the bigger instance(super lemmy)
Did they get any? I mean I have got some and I don’t even host anything at all. I am wondering what they did or did not get in relation to legal action.
Most times (at least around these parts I am) manslaughter hardly ever gets applied. They seem to treat it as an unrelated death. Jim has an “accident” and sadly Sue has passed away. Maybe if the police are feeling frisky we might get an “unsafe operation of a motor vehicle”.
