This is a bit concerning… why is Lemmy censoring things that not even Reddit is censoring? This seems like a bleak warning for the future of the platform. I understand censoring illegal content, but if nothing is hosted on Lemmy, then what’s the problem?
Lemmy isn't, world is. You can host your instance with all of the piracy communities you want.
It’s not “lemmy”. It’s lemmy.world and I feel like there should be a clear distinction here friend.
First by remaining federated, due to how federation works, lemmy.world actually downloads content from the instance hosting the piracy community. meanwhile reddit only allows links, not actual content, uploaded to their site.
Second this is just a small group of people not a tech company. Reddit can hire a team of lawyers to defend them and developers to develop tools to remove pirated content. I doubt lemmy.world has resources like that
