Fair point, but it seems absurd to me that a supposedly community-based instance gets harsher on privacy than a corporation that's about to IPO. That seems off to me. Then again: lack of a big legal team. Understandable. Sad, inconvenient, but understandable. I'm not mad, I'm just sad. Mostly because this legal war on piracy is not only on piracy, but on software freedom (DRM, WEI, etc) and privacy (for a lot of media, there is no privacy-respecting way to legally acquire it)
Another thing that seems off is that this announcement has been made on the Discord server. Now, I don't want to come across as that guy. I admit I use Discord regularly, because that's what my friends are on and all efforts to migrate them to something more privacy-respective have been futile, mostly due to the lack of fleshed-out and comparable alternatives for now. But… why should a Fediverse instance have an official server on Discord? I feel like it kinda goes against the whole philosophy of this entire thing. Then again I'm new, so I might be in the wrong here. But wouldn't a Matrix server or something be a better fit for this sort of thing?
Then don't use lemmy.world it's that simple. Communities can have whatever outside connections they want. Lemmy.world is the big normie/liberal/redditor instance. If that's not what you want you can always join another instance closer to your tastes/beliefs/management style.
