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.

    You’ve hit the nail on the head. The Lemmy experience is quickly beginning to sour. They’ve received an influx of trolls and I’ve run into a few moderators now that seem to be taking harsh actions. Maybe Lemmy isn’t for me after all.

      The thing is, this actually if anything proves the strength of the fediverse. Lemmy.world is not Lemmy and Lemmy is not the fediverse. Just find another instance that has not blocked the community yet and carry on with your day.

      Lemmy.world have every right to curate the experience for their users as they see fit and/or feel comfortable carrying the risk for.

      Hey it’s a free world. You’re welcome to migrate to a different instance. Heck why not run your own? That’s the power of the fediverse. Or just head back to Reddit.

        Maybe you guys are getting downvoted for conflating Lemmy on the fediverse as a whole with Lemmy.World.

        These actions don’t affect anyone not on Lemmy.world, assuming db0 federates with you, !piracy is still there for you

        yep I got downvoted, as expected. More proof. What’s a surprise. Just like Reddit

        Where have I heard it before? If my memory serves me right, it was very popular cope on another discussion platform. What a surprise. Just like Reddit.

        “dOwNvoTeS pROvE mE rIgHt”
