    Absurd. None of these communities are even hosted on lemmy.world.

    lemmy.world has more downtime than France’s administration anyway,. so at least we can still sail the high seas while they’re down.

      This is the answer, period. They aren’t hosting infringing content, they’re barely even linking to discussion of it. Most of the piracy communities here on Lemmy all have rules about not directly linking to any infringing content.

      It’s a fucking joke by people who think they’re doing something to protect their users but are actually just fucking around wasting time and energy.

                Who do you think the instance admins are? These are normal people, techies who know about running a server. But without a legal department.

                They’ll not be eager to even risk a court case.

                  That’s not what was said. There’s never been a legal trial of the fediverse.

                  Any other court case regarding IP is irrelevant.

                  There’s no precedent for activitypub, and that’s the point.

                    That’s totally not a point. When the admin of an instance has no interest in even getting close to something that might get them into court, it’s totally fine that they take measures.

                    Whether you like that or not is just as irrelevant as whether another admin was in court already.
