This has happened once before and they reversed it. But they said this last time too:
The discussions that have happened in various threads on Lemmy make it very clear that removing the communites before we announced our intent to remove them is not the level of transparency the community expects, and that as stewards of this community we need to be extremely transparent before we do this again in the future as well as make sure that we get feedback around what the planned changes are, because lemmy.world is yours as much as it is ours.
Seems quite reasonable to remove illegal communities given how Lemmy works with the caching of all content locally. There is just a significant legal risk for the instance operators involved here.
Talking about piracy on lemmy is still not illegal, in most places.
That doesn’t stop the media industry.
Only matters where the servers and instance admins are
Merely discussing piracy is not a crime. And that’s all that happens in that community
It depends on the kind of discussion. Incentivizing other people to break the law is illegal in most places
How do you define “illegal community”
