This has happened once before and they reversed it. But they said this last time too:

The discussions that have happened in various threads on Lemmy make it very clear that removing the communites before we announced our intent to remove them is not the level of transparency the community expects, and that as stewards of this community we need to be extremely transparent before we do this again in the future as well as make sure that we get feedback around what the planned changes are, because lemmy.world is yours as much as it is ours.

Lemmy.world sucks donkey balls and this isn't the only example.

Reddit 2.0. Always has been.

Not a suprise .world is like the most liberal instance I come across,

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What does that have to do with anything?

[–] CooperRedArmyDog@lemmy.ml 22 points 7 months ago

Liberals are ideologicaly pro capital, and pro IP, Piracy stands in the way of both of them. It would be expected that they would block it. Honestly just a matter of time

…says someone from a lemmy.ml account?

Edit: Poked the hornet’s nest…

[–] thoro@lemmy.ml 18 points 7 months ago

You mean someone with a 2 year old account? You know what instances existed 2 years ago?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 14 points 7 months ago

Lemmy.ml is majority leftist, ie Marxist or Anarchist, not liberal.

[–] CooperRedArmyDog@lemmy.ml 11 points 7 months ago

I mean are you trying to say I do not come into contact with enough instances? I mean I will fully admit that I am an out and out Marxist-Leninist, I do not see how that comes into play with me saying it is the most ideologicaly liberal and narrow of the instances I regularly contact.

I still do not see how my instance has to do with my political annalisis. I think my name would be a much more effective hit here. .ml is a general purous instance... I literaly have red army in my name. Not only does trying to say "Your a filthy red" not change my analisis, but you did not even use your one chance to chose the most obvious part ot say "OMG YOUR A FILTHY SCARY RED OMG YOUR COMING FOR MY TOOTHBRUSH" I mean, I cannot say I was expecting better, but I am disapointed none the less, my account is literaly the name of one of my dogs, and declaring they are a part of the Red Army, the Army of the USSR... I feel like that would have been a much easier grab

Lemmy.world continues to prove that their biggest utility is in attracting the bulk of the Reddit Crowd so that other, more specialized communities aren't overwhelmed, and the older worlders can then join a better community for the long-run.

I can see why they would do this if their servers are in the US, Japan, Germany or another country with insane copyright laws. If not this move is stupid, almost as stupid as hosting your server in one of those countries.

Lemmy.world is designed for people who want another Reddit. Interacting with their users & communities tells you all you need to know. I'd be a fan of defederating, tbh

I would love to be a fly on the wall in their internal discussions.
