Yet another informative post, and a decision that takes some guts and you're willing to take on some extra work and risk in order to make the instance better
I didn't want to have to do this, but you've brought this upon yourself. You give me no choice but to... donate money to you which you so damn well deserve!
Let this be a reminder that actions have consequences!
I'm glad you guys took a measured approach. This right here is the difference between a corporation and Lemmy. I can't imagine a for-profit reversing its decision in the interest of the community unless it affected their bottom line or stock price. Hats off to the admin team for working through all these complex issues.
Hey that's great, good job! I'm so unused to any disappointing decision being reversed, this really is an amazing site.
Now please unremove the shroom community as next priority. Empowering open minded people with the option and knowledge to heal themselves through the use of psychadelics (and other kinds of mushrooms that can potentially help fight diseases such as cancer) that they can grow themselves without big pharma and giving them a community to share their advice+experiences is the right thing to do.
Since its Lemmy world its a weird indeed. Mushrooms are not even illegal in like 1/3rd of the world countries and decriminalized/not enforced in the other 3rd. Pretty interesting wiki read actually https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_psilocybin_mushrooms
Any context why it was blocked?
There's been a few poisonings lately, including half a dozen people in Australia about 2 months back that may have contributed... orrrr it might just be US law and broad optics.
I'm not sure the mushrooms used in thr Australian case were magic mushrooms. That'd be more about mycology rather than magic mushrooms we're talking about. Either way banning doesn't make much sense.
correct, am Australian. The mushrooms are called death cap here which are poisonous. they were used in a mea and it's suspected to be a deliberate poisoning. nothing recreational or accidental here, just the same usual shit that can kill you in Australia :)
I spoke with 4 therapists about issues I had, they didn't help. Microdosing LSD for about a month did wonders though.
Thank you for the very informative post. Your professional way of handling the issue, puts corporate professionals, "cough" Reddit "cough", look like the amateurs they really are
That's what I thought while reading this. After being on reddit for so long posts like these are such a breathe of fresh air. In my time on Reddit the trend was ALWAYS 1: bad changes 2: worse change 3: nothing, it just becomes the new normal then, if anything 4: even worse changes.
Blows my mind to see a site be cognizant of their users, listen to them and actually idk, work to fix things? Bravo.
This is my first comment ever using this platform.
Welcome aboard! π
Good Communication is the key for everything
Nah man, tried this with my dog. He still humps the pizza delivery guy's leg
Excellent news. Respect.
Thank you for doing all of this including writing this post. The haters are binary thinkers who can't be bothered with pesky things like "context" and "reality"
Thank you for being so transparent with us.
Well damn, thanks for getting it done. Didn't think it would happen and I wasn't surprised you guys wanted to avoid the legal risk.
Glad I can use this as my main instance again. Love the transparency of the mod team even if I don't always agree with the decisions.
We can't always please everyone. And sometimes we have to make decisions or do things we personally don't like or we would like to see differently but we have to think about both our team and our userbase.
But thank you for your trust and welcome back.
This is why lemmy is already better than Reddit. Thanks for being transparent and following through.
Thank you for being willing to protect this service when necessary, and improve it when able.
This was the right move.
Great news mateys!
Awesome
Thank you a lot for the hard work and also for being introspective and finding flexible solutions.
Dbzer0 is my home for a reason
Best placr on lemmy <3
Finally. I've been more active over on .ml because of this. Glad you guys are reasonable and reversed the decision.
This is what I like to see. Not just heels digging in, but explanations as to why, the follow-ups, the investigation of options and follow through. Thanks for the transparency. Piracy has and wonβt ever go away. I used to pirate due to lack of money and resources. When I had those I went legit. When legit sources started turning into:
You canβt rely on any shit from these services, except for one shitβ¦ enshittification.
I donβt want to sound negative, but as a consumer, itβs been nothing but ads rammed down our throats from everywhere we go and look. They lie, they change rates, they shrinkflate, while their pockets get bigger. Long live piracy.
Fair play
Man I love lemmy
Hear Ye, Nerevar, and listen well. 'Tis I, Lord Dagoth, master of these lands, who brings you the gospel of gaming. Games are not just a means of fun and entertainment, but also a way of preserving our history. Piracy, which so many foolish people seem to hate, is a necessary means of archiving old games, lest they be lost forever. As for the Argonians, and other beasts that call themselves 'gamers,' their greed knows no bounds. Their constant calls for new games only fuel the fires of corruption and destruction that blight the industry.
Yeeeessss! These unique communities are what brought me to Reddit. I hope that carries over to Lemmy! Thanks β€οΈ
It was a solid concern at the time, because we were already receiving takedown requests as well as constant attacks, and didnβt want to put our volunteer team at risk. We had zero measures in place, and the tools we had were insufficient to deal with anything at scale.
Understandable. I am curious, how do instances deal with take down notices for another instance?
Nice!!
Do what you want because a pirate is free! You are a pirate!
Yar har fiddle dee dee Being a pirate is all right with me!
YAYYYY
Better late than never
Great news!
And of course this happens the day after I finally export my subscriptions to my other account to be able to see piracy in the feed of my main π
Not complaining, mind you, just marveling at my own bad timing π
Please do not go buy a lottery ticket or play the stock market today ;-)

This is amazing! You love to see it!
