        Yes, because they finally the mods posted links to illegal content. ( At least the db0 )

        And we got a dmca of other illegal content too, so we made this pro active move.

          did lemmy world or db0 ever got a dmca request? you will get dmca request only when you link to a particular copyrighted content and not a website

            Nope, not directly related to the recent action, the post itself states

            We have recently received a takedown request for content not directly related to these communities, but it prompted us to review other piracy related content and communities.

              not directly related to these communities

              you got your answer here, like i said above unless you let your users link a pirated version of a copyrighted material you are good to go and i think db0 takes care of it since they are more easy and vulnerable to get dmca than other communities.

            We got a dmca about such direct linkage, that trigfered us to investigate and remove any possible infringing material.

              If that’s the case, the mods of that community really did a bad job. I think you should be transparent about it and link that dmca request (with identifiable info blurred) in your announcements so you guys wont be the bad guys here.

          False. Our mods haven’t posted links to anything new or different. Literally nothing has changed about db0’s communitites.

          .World has been on-again, off-again banning our communities for months now, completely ineffective administrative structure. Tell them to figure their shit out and apply an actually consistent policy so people who care about freedom can leave the instance.

            We are investigate all the piracy/crack communities right now so please bear with us. And we just didnt digged deep into the linked websites. And after few clicks we found out links or “Type ‘gametitlehere somepiracysite.com’” into google and use vpn to hide your illegal actions …

            Tl:dr we DONT want any, ANY legal issues even if its “just” links to a wiki that refers to other sites or suspicious activity.

      Lemme is very good, and I am thinking about making a backup account in db0 instance :)

      I had one in FMHY but sadly it never took off.

        It took off but some things happened which made them close off. Maintaining the lemmy instance was too much for them because the issues were popping out left and right and there was mostly only 1 person that worked on maintaining it (not talking moderation). But honestly what caused the biggest blow for this decision was the fact they lost their .ml instance and were unable to migrate data.

        It was my first instance too. Switched to ani.social after it got shut down.
