    And just like that I learned about a Steam Deck piracy community.

    Something something Streisand Effect.

      TBF it doesn’t seem like they were against piracy per se, they just wanted to avoid potential liability. That said, I’ve still moved on to another instance.

        This 100%

        I don’t know why people are making this dramatic, this was absolutely a functional and pragmatic decision.

    lemmy.world doing god’s work here. We need more people to squash these malicious actors, piracy can’t be allowed to continue unhindered.

    I think this is better tbh, I personally don’t like it when piracy forums/sites/whatever piracy related thing goes too mainstream. Maybe it’s gatekeeping, I don’t know, I just fon’t want another Z-Library incident.

    Either way, they probably aren’t even against piracy, they’re probably just lazy and don’t want to deal with any of the issues they could potentially face down the line.

    .world has already become a shithole echo chamber. Good thing lemmy’s technology can not really let it take over the platform as a whole like it did with reddit.

    I’ve been liking .zip so far.

    How does this affect me? I still see the community, and I’m still able to post on it. Why do I care what lemmy.world is doing?

      You’re on Lemmy.ml, so this does not affect you directly, although it will mean no users from lemmy.world will access those communities, which inturn will mean they have less activity than they otherwise would have.

    The best part is lemmy.world notified its users of this change on…discord. lol

    Great social media site, where you notify end users of major changes on another platform entirely.

    Its fair enough. They gotta protect their ass.

    I just logged into a user made on this instance. Problem solved. And lemmy.world has had a ton of downtime anyway. Always trouble loading comments and often trouble loading posts
