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

That "concerned internet citizen" was a 10 hour old account whose only post was complaining about piracy. It was a troll out for some good ol manipulation.

Hey, that's not true. They also had posts complaining about trans people existing and Star Trek fans being nerds. Still, it's admirable - in a way - the effect they had: I ask the lemmy.world admins for updates on fixing their technical issues, and get no reply. This guy makes one post, and they all leap into action.

Its very sus. Even if he had a legal point. It was so out of the blue AND fucked up my feed. I enjoy piracy stuff
