Appreciation post for db0 admins in light of .world blocking /c/ piracy and similar /c/'s .
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
I understand why they did what they did and it makes me think of how db0 and other admins are saying fuck all and taking a very big liability for making and supporting a free internet and i want to say all the work you do is very much appreciated. Also shoutout to lemmy.ml admins for running a similar community on their own .
Links for supporting the db0 server and do consider donating as it is running behind on expenses.

One of the largest instances, lemmy.world, is no longer receiving posts from this community. They're worried about legal troubles I think?
Legally I think they’d probably be exempted from liability as a common carrier, similar to how your email server isn’t going to get sued if you mail someone a link to piracy. I doubt they’re interested in testing that theory though.
Yeah, it would have to be tested in court. Presumably they don't want to spend that time and money.
It wouldn't have to be tested in court.
Does .world host content from db0? No. It just connects to it via a common protocol.
They are lying to your face if they say it's because of 'legal reasons.' And a lot of you are stupid enough to take their word at face value.
