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.

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

This is my first comment ever using this platform.

Good Communication is the key for everything

I thank you for the work put into reversing the block.

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"

Nice.

I hope the shrooms community can also be unbanned.

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.

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

Finally I can talk about these John Meyer live bootlegs

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.

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 ❤️

It was a solid concern at the time, because we were already receiving takedown requests as well as constant attacks, and didn’t 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!!

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 won’t 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:

• monthly subscriptions for everything
• when legit sources suddenly delete or remove content from their systems (to avoid paying taxes?)
• when the rates go up for everything (internet access AND streaming services)
• now ads in your paid services unless you pay more (Amazon)
• Plex trying to go legit and police where and how people run their private streaming, fucking over license holders who built the financial footing they could stand on in the first place. Cool.

You can’t rely on any shit from these services, except for one shit… enshittification.

I don’t want to sound negative, but as a consumer, it’s 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.

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 😂

Not complaining, mind you, just marveling at my own bad timing 😂

❤️

This is amazing! You love to see it!

Finally. I can pirate the whole entire One Piece Anime series. All 1,075 of episodes. Jkjkjkjk. It is good to see transparency and communication.
