Is allowing access to piracy resources the same as hosting piracy resources? Is Comcast at risk of being shut down because they didn’t block everyone’s access to RARBG? This is largely rhetorical; the answer is “no”. lemmy.world’s admins are not being honest.
Are you sure that’s true? All content from all other federated servers are hosted on all other servers? That certainly doesn’t sound right; I thought that the fediverse protocol just allowed us access to other servers running the protocol, not that our instance actually runs content from their instance.
Yes, this is how federation works and it’s the main point all those users that are bitching about the move do not understand. LW does not care about piracy, they are afraid of legal consequences, because with the federation protocol you are hosting all content of other instances. It’s not embedded, it’s mirrored, so there is no legal difference between the origin instance and the federated instance.
Lemmy.world’s admins are well within their rights to exclude evil people who take what doesn’t belong to them from being a part of the lemmy.world instance.
Facilitating Piracy no matter how you put it is wrong and illegal, it is wrong and illegal to support people who do it.

Through federation, lemmy.world would host the content because it pulls all content from all federated instances.
There is no content in these communities, they are for discussion. Linking to content is against the rules in fact.

Comcast has money to defend itself. That’s a huge difference.
