That’s why it’s nice not to use lemmy.world

People have had 2 years to switch to another instance. Lemmy.zip, used by OP, is nice.

I had no idea this was a thing. Interesting. I can see from liability why this is not something they dont want to touch, being a general purpose instance.
I think lemmy/fediverse needs a place where if you try and subscribe to something blocked, you get a post/page explaining why they did the thing. Its going to confuse new users otherwise.

Wait until I tell you about .ml
Oh wait…. Shit, sorry.

People don’t want to switch.
Then admins have no reasons to change anything

Hi, I am from an instance no one ever seems to talk about and when reading these kinds of threads I am glad I made that choice.

IIRC when it was implemented in the first place, it seemed like lemmy.world had actually been contacted by some stakeholder with a DMCA-style request, even though the community was not actually originating on lemmy.world. Explaining how federation worked to lawyers didn’t matter much and with .world at the time becoming one of the larger and more visible instances that seemed like the best way to avoid the headaches. Initially they defederated with dbzer0 entirely before developing a way to block just the community.

People want access to the defederated instances, on lemmy.world.
