    I thought lemmy was anti-censorship

    where in the world did you get this idea? each instance has a clearly-posted ToS/code of conduct in the sidebar, as do most individual communities.

    if you dislike the rules on one instance, you’re free to find another or start your own. many do.

      Yeah, I'm not getting the outrage. They don't want to deal with the potential headaches of legal issues from piracy, and they acted. Not like we don't have a bunch of instances to view pirate communities. It doesn't make them bad guys, and I don't view it as censorship.

        some people view censorship as an infringement of their rights, and, sometimes, they’re right.

        some people see reasonable regulation of speech/behavior (especially in communal spaces) as a personal affront and a judgement of the views the hold and positions they espouse— often because their speech/behavior is seen as offensive and unacceptable by society. it reveals not only a deep insecurity, but a acknowledgement that even these people know, deep-down, that what they’re doing is unacceptable and wrong, and that their defense of it is disingenuous because their true motives are, in fact, malicious and hateful.
