    As far as I understand, lemmy.world is banning/defederating piracy communities. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

        Holy fuck, single-handedly killing a startup is way to exaggerated. I really don't wanna defend LMG/Linus here, their mistakes are horrendous and Linus' response was laughably bad. But Billet Labs are fine, they probably got more good advertising out of it than anything else.

        They themselves said "What's happened recently is blip, we will not be stopped." on a r/LinusTechTips post

      This was what this post was referencing. Thanks for answering this question for me! I haven't watched LTT/LMG in over 5-6 years, so I have no idea what's going on with that.
