    reddit.com is Reddit.Inc. with investors and lawyers and content curators and admins galore etc.

    Lemmy.world is idk some guy named ruud in a basement with servers or something idk. The point is they aren’t equivalent resource pools to protect them from legal issues.

        I can’t blame him for wanting to avoid legal issues before it gets to the point he is receiving notices, C&Ds and law suits. That can get very expensive, very fast.

        It’s not like it’s hard to make an account on another instance to look at piracy related content.

        • It’s not like it’s hard to make an account on another instance to look at piracy related content.

          That’s right, but lemmy.world claims to be an instance for anyone, which it isn’t anymore. It’s not neutral anymore.

          It’s not like you immediately get sued, you first get a DMCA takedown notice. At that point, he could just defederate and everything would be fine.

        Like I said, part of the reasons I chose to not choose it as my home instance. I get it.

        • Yeah, I don’t want to hate on lemmy.world for no reasons, but the things I described earlier turned that instance into a shit show pretty quickly. Which is unfortunate.
