Literally the most cucked instance imaginable, probably should have seen this coming though since they banned the piracy community hosted on the dbzero instance because it had a pinned post with a link to a piracy guide that linked to the Reddit r/piracy megathread that linked to piracy sites directly
alright, I must be missing something, is it not safe to assume that their instance is hosted in the United States (or one of it's DLCs) where the admins must worry about copyright laws and lawyers? It just seems seasonable for a website not dedicated to piracy to be paranoid about bad faith actors like DCMA lawyers.
idk fitgirl advertises on reddit, like actually posts on crackwatch. doesn't seem like a big deal.
reddit is owned by billionaire VC, small independent sites are bound by the law not protected by it.
seems like the US isn't even the worst for this. the UK might be even worse. In the US, it's pretty questionable whether a site is liable for linking, even less so with a social media site with user generated content. if you aren't embedding it or building and profiting off a library of such links, you really ought to be fine. It would be a bit paranoid to worry about at this scale, and is very very cucked behavior, of the sort that is much-maligned about reddit among the type of people that left for lemmy.
yes but you're posting on Hexbear and we (collectively at least) have a thing about being belligerently against any and all lemmy.world actions/posts/etc even if they are not actually that insane
I think this is more of an ideological thing than anything since they banned the piracy comm hosted on dbzero on the sole basis that it linked to a post that linked to a post that linked to a piracy site then faced a ton of backlash and were forced to unban it, but once people had forgotten about it secretly rebanned it again at a later date and only talked about it after getting called out for it
