Was there some context or discussion about that over there? If I recall correctly, lemmy.world is hosted in Germany, right? The lawyers there are quite extreme when it comes to cracking down on piracy; is a whole business model.... So maybe .world is just overly cautious
I'm on a german instance (feddit.de) and it's federated with db0.
I think it's just lemmy.world bullshit.
Has anyone read their post about their downtime?
"We shouldn't close registration or limit the amount of communities because we're not even the biggest instance in the fediverse"
Like, what?! The argument was always that they are the biggest in Lemmy! It felt like they were trying to gaslight the users.
Same as the other arguments, like new users being weirded out if they can't register to lemmy.world or apps using them as default. So them being down all the time doesn't matter? Or that lemmy.ml was the biggest instance and closed down registration and new users registered to other instances without a problem?
I'm really weirded out how hard they try to be the "main" thing on Lemmy.
Almost like an "intentional and kinda aggressive lib takeover". I wouldn't put it past the admins to try monetizing their users at some point.
Just released an announcement, see the pic in the post.
that announcement is also a buch of horsecrap
Fucking Germany. Like I get having the laws, but they are being abused for absolute nonsense.
