It’s gone. Wanted to ask over here before I went to check on Reddit.

  • I don’t think they’ve even customised their Lemmy codebase at all, let alone have an ad programme set up.

    Moderation sucks, especially in communities where it’s hard to decide what is and isn’t over the line. No moderation isn’t an option, and there are as many opinions about what should or shouldn’t be removed as there are people on this earth. The easiest way to avoid problems and toxic drama is to removing you and your moderators from areas of discussion that you know are going to cause headaches down the line.

    It’s a matter of time before Lemmy servers across the world are going to get hit with DMCA claims for piracy related communities. Maybe they’ve received one already. I’m not going to fight it on my private instance, and honestly, I don’t think all but the most daredevil (or foolhardy) servers are going to bother with gathering the necessary legal aid and fees when that day comes.
