the lemmy.world admins specifically fell for it, since they did block this community.
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
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
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
