MODERATORS
I respect your opinion here, but they will absolutely not shut down the AUR since its the reason anyone uses Arch. Just like how piefed.ca doesn't shut down just because a few users upload illegal things.
Is there more context on the piefed.ca thing?
Its a hypothetical assumption created by me. I should have said lemmy.world since im 100% sure there have been users that have uploaded illegal content.
No, it just happened to be my instance.
As a side note, for some reason, I can't see any comments inside any post on this community. That's why I have to reply though my lemmy.ca alternate account.
