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.

    It’s honestly a bit pathetic that your admin didn’t have the guts to actually ask the lemmy.world user base before banning us for the second time, even though your instance promised to consult it’s user base before doing anything like this again. “Facilitation of piracy” is not even illegal in most jurisdictions, because it’s so vague. I mean the internet itself facilitates piracy. It’s only hosting pirated content that is technically illegal, and we don’t do that. We just talk about the topic. Talking about piracy ≠ hosting pirated content.

      I’m not from lemmy.world, I’m from sh.itjust.works. We have never banned you at all. And I understand your argument.

      But it’s not our place to decide what the lemmy.world admins do with their server. It also doesn’t affect you personally at all. It’s not like they defederated your server, it only affects their users who were subscribed to that community, and they can always just make an account on another server.
