  The policy was reverted. You actually see a comment from LW top admin on Peertube

    At the top of the announcement post:

    There will be a new announcement soon to clarify.

    29 days later...

    Also, who calls LW "dot World"? He said that in the video, but I've literally never heard it called that, ever?

    Also the communities are not locked anymore? One example is https://lemmy.world/c/unpopularopinion, which at one point was locked, and might have remained so for one week (out of the past month) but e.g. in the last week there's been about one post per day, so most definitely not locked anymore, and hasn't been for 20 days.

    There's a LOT of inaccuracies in this video. Which makes me legit wonder if this video was a trap to collect the IP addresses of people who commented on this post. Oops... but fyi, that's a real thing that is possible to dox people irl. I hope people are using appropriate protections!

      Irl, people actually do say .world, .ml, .whatever, when the stuff before he dot is lemmy or close equivalent, and the conversation is about instances.

      As in, “yeah, I had an account on .ml, but they be trippin, so I moved over to .ee”

      But instances like the one I’m on just get called by what it says, or like blahaj, just by a single part.

        “That one fucking instance” is also acceptable.

        You know which one.

        Yeah I've rarely seen it for .ee and .ml.

      The video is 1 month old

        Well that answers one of the questions about it at least. This post is only 2 hours old and the cross-post chain likewise less than a day, so thay raised even more questions about why this month old video is being spread across several instances despite being invalid now, even if it still was at the time it was made (which it may not have been, the reversion of the announcement was made extremely quickly due to the enormous uproar against it).
