It just looks like some Lemmy users are falling for an obvious troll.

Best part is when they start pretending to be stupid, after already having demonstrated they aren't. Which then paradoxically proves that they are.

the lemmy.world admins specifically fell for it, since they did block this community.

Wow. Hats off to him. Guess the lemmy.world admins aren't are smart as they should be,.

Why did they defederated in the first place? Did something happens with another instance due to copyright problems? Or they just got scared for no reason?

[–] Stoneykins@mander.xyz 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be clear they just blocked the piracy community, it isn't a full defederation from dbzer0

Lemmy.world has a rule against illegal content. This troll was trolling and got mad at dbzer0 for banning them. The troll then demanded the admins of lemmy.world defed from dbzer0 because piracy is illegal, and they blocked this and several other piracy communities at the troll's request.

And the Shrooms community, which moved to !Shrooms@sh.itjust.works
