Lemmy.world banning piracy made me realize it's something a client can solve
If I was logged into several instances at once in the client and seeing the composite feed and then could choose instance when replying or posting (with some set default, like from: field in e-mail clients) lemmy.world could ban piracy all it wants and it'd still be in my feed without me having to leave it or change instances.

Banning any chance that instance owners face legal actions for piracy.
It's really not tough reasoning. The vast majority of instances will do the same.
The irony bring that Reddit itself doesn't ban piracy related stuff as long as you don't outright post links publicly... It's a shitty kind of platform to do that anyway.
I mean they have a legal team. Joe Shmo doesn't.
Are you going to spin up a server then?
If they don't want any chance of facing legal actions then they should just shut down the instance.
What a brilliant advice :/
That's horrible advice lol
And I completely disagree. I'm quite happy to continue using this site.
Imo your advice is counter to the foundation of the fediverse. If you want piracy, then go to a piracy instance. Vote with your feet, my friend.
I am not asking you to stop using lemmy.world. It's their instance, they can do whatever they want. I was replying to the above comment that the Instance owners don't want any chance of getting sued. As long as they have an Instance in the Fediverse, there will always be a chance of getting sued.
But it is perfectly normal to try to lower the risk of getting sued, even if the chance will never be zero.
