Every instance has their own rules and where your server is located can factor into those rules. Being a EU server and not a Russian server likely plays a role in that.
Nobody wants to end up in jail, but that’s not a reason to become reddit.
Says the guy who is at 0 risk of going to jail for it lol.
By all means create your own instance with a rules-free piracy community, then when you start getting into legal trouble, you can bit the bullet and go to jail lol
I moved to lemm.ee from lemmy.world after that whole hack thing a few weeks ago and it seems like lemmy.world has been going through some weird shit ever sense.
You know, I agree that this is definitely the beauty of Lemmy’s federated nature but I’m somewhat perplexed by statements like “I can do whatever I want”. I mean for sure, in theory you definitely can, but were really being held back before? I just personally have never actually run up against the limits of my freedoms online and being unable to do something I want to do. I’m probably just super vanilla and boring I suppose. I guess the recent shit with Reddit is an example where I really was constricted, by virtue of no longer having the choice of mobile app to access the website through, but then, I just jumped ship to Lemmy. I can imagine I might run in to a situation where the admins of the instance I signed up to block a community I liked, but it’s very rare that this is a community that I care about and when it is, there’s almost always another server around I can make an account for and sign up to all the same communities as before. I guess in typing this I’m seeing that the answer is that, with your own instance you won’t have to keep hopping, but I guess I just so rarely get inconvenienced by admin decisions that it’s never seemed worth the trouble.
If it’s not too prying, can I ask what is it you want to, and in practice really would do, that running your own instance has now allowed you? Not just theoretical but, like a real existing capability that you’ve gained and make use of regularly? It’s appealing to me from a theoretical basis and sometimes the theory and principle alone is enough, but the effort barrier hasn’t seemed worth it for the theoretical gains alone.
lemmy.world deleted their copy of it (due to site rules, and prompted by a concerned Internet citizen)
It’s probably the biggest Community in all of Lemmy, so the ramifications will be interesting.
oh well better late than never to migrate i spose
Such is the beauty of lemmy
lemmy.world has been acting very weird lately. Almost like they are the one and the only authority of Lemmy.
Almost like LW admins don’t want to end up in jail.

Good job this is Lemmy then and each instance can set their own rules.

Yea… it’s time to boogie off this instance for a while before they turn into Reddit Jr.

I’d mind less if their own instance wasn’t so broken.
It’s their instance, they are free to do as they wish to comply with their local regulations
Hexbear drove them mad.
Ye I think I need to start my own instance, That’s the only way I can get away from bullshit like this
I’ve been on my own instance since I started using Lemmy a few months ago and it’s amazing to just… do whatever I want.

Deleted how? I can see it here while logged in (though there are only a few posts):
https://lemmy.world/c/piracy
Not that one, their copy of the massive one at dbzer0
That’s not a copy of the main piracy community, that’s another piracy community that’s hosted on lemmy.world
The community people are talking about is !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which is no longer accessible via lemmy.world
