IDK that admins should be handing out preemptive bans for fear of legal action. How about defederating from all NSFW communities b/c I could argue that the majority of their Content is not OC but is re-posted material without the copyright owners permission. Just a matter of time before someone sends a cease and desist. Or for that matter, what step are NSFW communities taking to make sure the content uploaded is consists of models of legal age? Or the content isn't revenge porn and has the models permission? Now I'm trolling here because I think your decision was dumb, my feelings about it, sorry, but everything I just described here has the very real possibility of happening. Where do we draw the line. Anytime someone posts an article and a tldr bot scraps the article and posts it in the comments are robbing the original "copyright" holder of the article of the traffic that would have gone there for people who would have read the article on the site, but have now never gone to the actual address. Like I could be one petty ass hole, actually I am here. However, all of these examples could occur, TBH probably a matter of time. So you need to do sweeping deferation to a lot of communities, or grow a fucking pair, and just take action when action needs to be taken. Whatever, i can still see it from mastodon, but still dick move guys, you were supposed to be the chosen ones, only reddits deal in absolutes.

WTF am I reading?

Threads integration must be imminent. Gotta get your nose clean before the lamestream meta users come in

The copyblight strikes again.

This decision was the logical one, however, it was only rendered logical because of the awful state of copyright law.

Coward shit.

I’m guessing the idea here is to eventually sell out to a corporate operator

That moment when Reddit is actually better... Fuck me sideways!
