Advocating piracy is one thing, but now banning people for believing in copyright? That's like banning people for following the law. That is banning people for following the law. What gives? And to think a while ago I declared I wouldn't have any reason to not take their bans (or the motives behind them) seriously.

Are we trying to get world governments to ban Lemmy (or, worse, the fediverse)? Love the administrative decisions or hate them, such decisions will drag down the whole fediverse. Typically sites are defederated to protect the sites defederating them from liability. Will this be an example, or does this, out of convenience, not apply? Are we forgetting a large portion of the fediverse's demographics consist of artists trying to make a damn living?

And it seems karmacourt will be the first to posit that the fediverse is worth "putting in its place", going by the upvotes in such an empty community that probably discourages those kinds of suits.

Someone on Reddit has been saying someone has been able to report new members without proof and remove their threads by claiming to be the people they've reported. Out of curiosity, I tested this out. Turns out it checks out. For some reason, admins have allowed it to be possible. I found out my threads have been removed this way, so beware if you're banned from somewhere or your threads are removed. This is the same person who thinks she can compete with Fedilore on Tumblr after being banned from Fedilore's instance for signing up for KiwiFarms in order to prevent her friends from being backbitten on there before going on YouTube to complain about it.
