I left Reddit because of bans, shadowbans, and powermods. A few weeks on Lemmy and we now have bans from powermods. This sucks.
Is that really the case though? They are saying they didn't want to risk legal troubles which sounds reasonable to me considering they're just your average people with a hobby.
They're not risking legal troubles unless they receive and don't comply with a DMCA takedown request. Like I said elsewhere, this is about making their site friendly to advertisers.
