Bro I'm still jittery from hating on spez.. all I had to see were some of the comments lemmy.world mods and admin made and it was fucking easy as piss to move instances.
Not getting rid of my old account tho, they can continue to host everything I posted.
It's a bit more nuanced than that. Their servers are based in the EU and therefore a rather easy target for copyright lawsuits, and they have neither unlimited funds nor the manpower to fight them off (even if the allegations are completely unfounded, you need a lawyer to refute them, and lawyers charge actual money).
Sometimes it's easier to focus on your strengths than fighting the good fight on all fronts and go down swinging.

As I mentioned, even if the allegations have no legal basis, you need the manpower and legal backing to refute such a claim.
Maybe read the whole comment instead of just nitpicking on half a sentence out of context?
What makes the EU an easy target for copyright lawsuits?
Hosters are fully registered and are reactive to claims, not like some overseas server farms operating under Seychelles law etc.
