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?

    Dbzer0 is explicitly anti-copyright. It’s in the sidebar and when you sign up.

    It was a mod that did it, not an admin.

    It was a community, not the entire site.

    Jesus Christ, reading is a thing.

      I counted way more than two communities. That’s often said to mean it’s an instance ban.

      In case people missed it (I will assume good faith here), “anti-AI troll” is another way of saying “this person is concerned about copyright”.
