It just looks like some Lemmy users are falling for an obvious troll.
the lemmy.world admins specifically fell for it, since they did block this community.
Why did they defederated in the first place? Did something happens with another instance due to copyright problems? Or they just got scared for no reason?
To be clear they just blocked the piracy community, it isn’t a full defederation from dbzer0
Lemmy.world has a rule against illegal content. This troll was trolling and got mad at dbzer0 for banning them. The troll then demanded the admins of lemmy.world defed from dbzer0 because piracy is illegal, and they blocked this and several other piracy communities at the troll’s request.
And the Shrooms community, which moved to !Shrooms@sh.itjust.works
Wow. Hats off to him. Guess the lemmy.world admins aren’t are smart as they should be,.
they have been doing a lot of weird moves lately
I gather they might be a little more biased than they let on. I’m not sure how self-aware they are of it, though.
you bet they are, it took them a month to “communicate” and “decide with community” to defed exploding heads, allowing them to grow 3x in the meantime, entire week for rammy site, but hexbear, a much larger instance that wasn’t caught proselytizing outside, got defederated “preemptively”. what the fuck is this bullshit?
they do have pretty strong biases, but i’m guessing they got caught in their own circlejerk that tells them that all of that is normal. just look at any pinned post on .world and go into comments
Yeah, I consider it the reddit 2.0 instance fwiw.
It’s such an obvious over the top troll too guys, come on
Best part is when they start pretending to be stupid, after already having demonstrated they aren’t. Which then paradoxically proves that they are.
