Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy.
VinesNFluff@pawb.social 11 months agoYeah that.
Do people just not get that this is the entire point?
Hop accounts, you lil’ bitch.
And if your priority is the piracy community? Make the server that hosts that your homeserver.
Or just have more than one account and use an app instead of the default webpage.
It’s not rocket science. People’s brains are poisoned by centralization. Back in my day everything was its own separate forum with its own separate account and to be honest, it was miles better like that.

The problem with this is that it isn’t really decentralized equally. Lemmy.world has most of the users and getting federated from them is essentially a death sentence.
I think it’s a good idea to make new accounts on other instances, I plan to buy without a proper amount of people, lemmy.world is working the same way reddit did.

Self-resolving issue here. If people hop away from LW due to LW making decisions they don’t like, LW will cease being the one-go-to-place for stuff.
Also also – Defederation is a far more nuanced thing than just “is block”. There is more than one tool that can be used by an ActivityPub admin.
If LW defederates from your home instance – You can still manually follow communities that are in LW AND interact with them (unless the admins go out of their way to ALSO block USERS from your home instance), as “defederated from the instance” just removes it from the global timeline.
What happened here, though, wasn’t defederation, it was a block, and a block on two specific communities, which brings me to: LW’s block on the piracy communities from dbzer0 doesn’t stop LW users from interacting with dbzer0 as a whole. Or vice-versa.

Hopefully this will drive people to switch to another instance, and the issue you mentions will be less present.
