Sigh. At least the benefits of federation include being free to move into other instances while LW can pull stuff like this (probably because they get the heat from being the largest instance).

    Yeah this admin is only 1 month old. So it does seem likely that they weren’t around for the last outrage.

    It’s Spez’s Lemmy account.

    I don’t know, at least its not stuffed up to its assrim with Marxist filth.

    only to the begging of the rim

    Says lemm.ee user lmao

    beardown ,

    What’s wrong with lemm.ee?

    Alsephina ,

    Probably just using Texas_Hangover’s lack of logic against them

    egonallanon ,

    Well where the hell else are we supposed to store our Marxist filth?

    Arelin ,

    Instead it’s filled with zionazi and anti-piracy filth.

    I prefer my filth Marxist and materialist flavoured thank you very much.

    Simon ,

    I mean, I like my Marxist content to be good and not filth. Maybe that’s what he meant.

    Indeed. In my opinion, it's called lemmy.world but it's too US centric to have the .world domain.

    WTF is a glowie?

    owen ,

    It refers to how obvious undercover agents can be in online forums. So obvious that they glow

    A paranoidal schizophrenic and a single dev of Temple OS thought thar he’s watched and messed with by federal agencies. He knew, because he could see a glowing aura around them undercover agents. After his ramblings about it, 4chan boards users who watched his streams as a lolcow (a person of interest who can be milked for lulz) took this slang term from him. Then it spread everywhere.

    The speed that this happened suggests they might have gotten spooked by something. Put down the pitchforks mates and give them a chance to explain first.

    EDIT: Welp, I expected an explanation by now…

    If there’s anything they should be spooked by, it’s the pitchforks!

    Ill take a pitchfork in the guts any day if it keeps me away from being a debt slave to Disney for the rest of my life.

    They got lawyered maybe.

    I’m doubtful

    shininghero ,

    Wouldn't be surprised if they got some personally delivered letters from the legal department of a big media company, given that they blocked visibility to some magazines on other servers.

    Trebach , (edited )

    Per https://lemmy.world/post/13320356, they got a takedown notice and started going through everything with a fine toothed comb.

    Danterious OP ,

    Don’t you guys have an admin chat group. Or at least you guys would have some way of keeping in touch since this has happened before.

    db0 ,
    @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    We do, in fact. They never gave a heads-up, and none has responded until now. I found about this from this post

    Danterious OP ,

    That’s unfortunate.

    To be fair they do say they “need to be” transparent, not that they were going to be :p

    Draconic_NEO ,

    because lemmy.world is yours as much as it is ours.

    It’s funny because someone on their team started banning people from that thread for disagreeing with their stance then when called out for it they quietly changed the instance bans for community bans, in an awesome display of pure pettiness one would normally see on Reddit.

    When I described the previous removal as LW having a feud with dbzer0, that was why.

    curbstickle ,

    They’ve just posted.

    It’s not a good explanation. The only thing that changed was their own minds.

    lemann ,

    Sigh.

    On the up side, if anyone wants in, they are free to create accounts on other instances

    Danterious OP ,

    The part that annoys me is that this was done silently even though last time they said they would ask their users. Hopefully it was just an admin that didn’t get the last memo.

    Edit: the community -> their users

    rar ,

    I suspect something involving law enforcement or legal. Still would love if LW admins updated on this.

    Indeed, especially with 0.19 that allows you to migrate your subs and block lists in two clicks

    @Gort@lemm.ee avatar

    Wish that was around when I moved from lemmy.world to lemm.ee some time ago. It would have saved me a bit of time. Nice that it’s there for the future, though.

    zcd ,

    Any good pro piracy instances?
