Hello World!

As we've all known and talked about quite a lot, we previously blocked several piracy-focused communities. These communities, as announced, were:

[email protected],

[email protected],

[email protected], and their local counterparts as follow up actions.

In our removal announcement, we stated that we will continue to look into this more in detail, and re-allow these communities if and when we deem it safe. It was a solid concern at the time, because we were already receiving takedown requests as well as constant attacks, and didn't want to put our volunteer team at risk. We had zero measures in place, and the tools we had were insufficient to deal with anything at scale.

Well, after back and forth with some very cool people, and starting to have proper measures as well as tooling to protect ourselves, we decided it's time to welcome these communities back again. Long live the IT nerds!

We know it's been a rough ride with everything, and we'd like to thank every one of you who were understanding of us, and stayed with us all the way. Please know that as users, you are what makes this platform what it is, and damned we be if we ever forget it.

With love, and as always, stay safe in the high seas!

Lemmy.world Team

very cool people

Am I correct to assume this also means people who know a thing or two about this thing or two?

No acknowledgement or sorry for their stupid garbage and if you try to mention it in their "community" you won't have a good time, definitely not going to follow anything on that instance except the shitposts again but good to see that they correct a mistake at all I guess!

I created this user in this instance because I knew this would eventually happen.

I'm happy with my choice.

it’s time to welcome these communities back again

That they'd be welcomed back?
