I understand why they did what they did and it makes me think of how db0 and other admins are saying fuck all and taking a very big liability for making and supporting a free internet and i want to say all the work you do is very much appreciated. Also shoutout to lemmy.ml admins for running a similar community on their own .
Links for supporting the db0 server and do consider donating as it is running behind on expenses.

Being defederated by lemmyworld is a badge of honor. Keep up the good work!
Nah, I disagree. They are running a large community in the middle of Europe, in plain view and being personally known, and as such, liable. Adhering to applicable laws and regulations is the sensible thing to do, plain and simple.
That makes it even worse. Imagine putting in all this effort and taking all this supposed risk to create a new social media platform free of the pitfalls that come with a for profit site like reddit only to slowly adopt the exact same corporate friendly code of conduct while purposefully curating a community of annoying shitheads who are nearly indistinguishable from the horde of cretins on reddit.
If making a new reddit is legitimately the best they can do, then they should absolutely just scuttle the entire project.
he's a real VIKING of following the rules written by rich people!
Thank you! I started the server as a random project right after I left Reddit and shredded all of my posts. I’m pretty sure I’m the only active user but that’s okay by me. It’s a little money out of my pocket to give both myself and others refuge from social media and all of the enshitification.
Don't mention it! Your reasoning and mindset is so very heartening, I hope you'll get more active users, they'll be in good hands for sure. Instance owners like your self, db0 are a treasure. 👌
Here's the donations links from on the sidebar mateys. The server is currently is not covering its hosting costs ;)
EDIT: Removed since they're in the OP now
Man, I didn't realize there were only 22 people supporting you monthly.
I didn't realize there was a patreon, I made a Ko-fi account just for this.
Ko-fi is better for the creator anyway, I wish I knew about the Ko-Fi first haha
Just went to ko-fi too, i use lemmy daily and i love this instance & the admins here, and thats worth a few bucks a month
Care to ELI5 for us casuals who did not catch and are missing the obvious?
AFAIK Lemmy.world (the largest Lemmy instance) was issued a takedown request for something unrelated, and conducted a review of the piracy communities following that.
Unfortunately they decided to remove/unfed a few piracy communities as a result, such as this one on dbzer0.
So while we are still all federated, lemmy.world users can no longer see or interact with the !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com community ☹️
So we can still things from them but they can’t see things from us?
I suppose that’s why people make at least two accounts.
db0 is a personal hero of mine I have been a follower since his OCTGN creations.
Started with A:NR, and your sound effects were legendary amongst everyone I know. LOGIN REJECTED
As someone who just started with this community, I'll admit that I'm a little confused by what happened. Appreciate everyone who puts in time here though!
Don't worry about it, just steer clear of lemmy.world and you'll be fine
I'd imagine that most worked for Nazi Germany under the threat of death or imprisonment
Certainly not these 1600 of the upper eschelon. Probably a few, sure, but most? Of these 1600 that the US went out of its way to save and coddle? Nah, the ones who had no choice were working class folks and even then not nearly most, the rest chose it. Especially those 1600. Not to mention nazi medical experiments did not yield anything of value that wouldn't have been obtained another way. They learned only how to inflict great suffering.
I find your example invalid
But lets pretend I don't. Let's pretend they DID make important discoveries that have saved millions of lives? No! What the fuck? No of course not!
I don't even understand your point here. I specifically don't respect these positions of power and the people who occupy them and use them to exploit others? That was what my post was ABOUT?
What are you talking about????
