    that may technically be true, but I think people should be more willing to take a stand, and not just pre-emptively bow down to the copyright trolls, because it’s basically legally unenforceable especially the larger this the federation gets

    I’ll give them credit that they didn’t defed the entire instance and I guess it’s their server their rules

      If you want to take a stand, host your own instance. If you aren’t willing to do that, you are just hoping someone else will suffer the consequences for you.

        to my knowledge this is the one instance that isn’t willing to take that stand lol, it should be understand that all instances in the federation share a common interest to protect their users against copyright trolls

          That is the beauty of federation. You don’t have to accept everything because it is a choice of the different instances. There is no collective, but a series of independent voices.

            I respect the right of the autonomy of instances and like I said, this is something within the domain of their individual moderation decisions, but we do in fact share collective interests, it’s like with federating with facebook, it’s not just a matter of individual instance preferences, anyone who federates with Meta would be blocked by everyone who isn’t because they then become data mining conduits.

            This is somewhat similar to the DCMA issue, the copyright trolls are the enemy of all of us and if you’re willing to compromise with them without even a plausible legal threat. Well that hurts the rest of us. You might as well be inviting them to go after the other evil pirate instances.
