      Not only that, it was a brand new account on a totally different Lemmy instance that demanded lemmy.world admins remove piracy related communities.

      Honestly it seems like lemmy.world admins were trolled by some random throwaway account and took the bait.

      EDIT: The post in question in case others haven’t seen it https://lemmy.world/post/3175920, a new account from lemm.ee makes their first & only post in lemmy.world demanding that they defederate & remove anything piracy related.

          Reddit has lawyers they can call on to mount a defense. Im willing to bet this is entirely about liability

            Understandable reason but there is not one illegally shared file in these communities. What’s next, watching a John Wick movie makes me a murderer now?
