Piracy communities remain blocked on lemmy.world despite "Unremoval of Piracy Communities" announcement
-
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.

Ok everybody. You heard them! Everybody talk about discuss.tchncs.de! Let’s ALL form opinions and talk at length about them!
-
That’s why I run my own instance, dont like others decide what must be censored for me.
So you run your own instance and federate with other instances as you please? How are you hosting it / is it doable via docker?

People also wanted API access on Reddit in 2023, and here we are
Reddit refused access to API, and people left reddit.
Lemmy.world is refusing access to the pirate instances.
By your logic, people should leave Lemmy.

People who want to access that community should leave lemmy.world, since it doesn’t seem like the admins want to unblock it. There are other lemmy instances, along with Piefed and mbin too.

Oh man, people from discuss.tchncs.de just cannot take a joke
Block the whole instance

No, by the same logic you should consider leaving lemmy.world.

Idk if you’re on grad I feel like you definitely know what you signed up for.

I agree but think its also different depending on context.
Like if someone has thousands of contributions and their account is 6 months + old.
Hell yeah I can judge them on the instance they use. Because they have had plenty of time and opportunity to learn and change.A new user on the otherhand. I won’t.
I myself have both a defunct world and ML account from a long time ago when I first joined the threadiverse.
-
Unclear if AI bot, or insane person having a stroke.
My flair on that account from presumably another thread is “neoliberal troll”
So I think it’s just bait.

People don’t want to switch.
Then they’re the same as the Reddit users who refuse to move. It’s not hard to move to a different Lemmy/PieFed instance, that’s our strength. You can export your account data and import it to your new instance so your subscriptions transfer.

I hated discuss.tchncs.de before it was cool.

Rad, tyvm. I’ve got a proxmox server at home running wireguard so I’ll give it a hoon on that. Thanks again.

lemmy.world is my least favourite part of lemmy.
also lemmy.ml

But your upvotes and comment history don’t.

That’s why it’s nice not to use lemmy.world
Turns out the admins and community moderators there lie or just don’t care, mild shock.

Sure but IDK that just doesn’t seem important. That’s the same issue we had switching from Reddit to Lemmy. My Reddit posts aren’t gone and neither are my programming.dev posts, I’m here on retrolemmy.com now and I’m fine leaving my old account behind. If I need to edit an old post then I’ll open programming.dev but that doesn’t bother me.

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

I’m fine leaving my old account behind.
Then we have different viewpoints. I’m very much NOT ok with leaving my old account behind.
If AI hadn’t banned me on reddit, I’d be much happier over there. I’d have my old account, and all my post history going back 10 years. Which by this point would be more like 12 or 13 years.
It’s not important to you, but it’s important to me. Just because youhave an opinion doesn’t make it “the right way”. Everyone can have different opinions, and thats ok.
Literally 3 months after I got here, and started figuring out how the fediverse worked, I was calling for changes. Quite frankly, what I thought the fediverse was is a lot cooler than what it actually is.
I can post a picture here from pixelfed, but it’s no different than posting a picture from imgur.
So the account history is all I have to look back at.

Would you really be happier in the den of nazis, bots and shills?
