It's gone. Wanted to ask over here before I went to check on Reddit.

Not sure that their monthly running budget would even cover a consultation with a lawyer. There's no reason that they should accept this risk. Just move to a different instance or host your own instead of causing drama.

It one guy financing it with donations and some volunteer admins. Seems very unlikely that federating with a piracy community could cause any legal problems, but if I personally owned the servers running Lemmy.world like ruud does I might be a little careful. My wife would kill me if I got arrested for hosting a Lemmy instance, man. Is it worth the risk?
