Grown-up conversation about piracy on this site
Supposing I'm Fred The Fed and I want to shut down Hexbear.net
What if I try to make a case that admins tolerate sharing copyrighted material in violation of Statute XYZ, so the site is illegal and should be seized.
You might say, "Copyright laws are dumb, man! Who cares!" but that doesn't matter. Tell that to the law.
Should we get a lawyer's advice on this? What steps does the site need to take to avoid heat?

guess we should let the adults in the room adopt lemmy.world policies, remove db0 from allow list, and have mods delete piracy links.
should probably shut the whole thing down due to laws against communism and LGBTQ+ support, illegal in many countries
was good while it lasted
Awful lot of people wishing death upon genociders and fascists, probably best to make rules against that too. Also it's not fair to make fun of famous people, rich people, or politicians in a venue where they can't respond - it's simply not polite.
I mean there's nothing stopping them from making an account in Hexbear/a federated instance and commenting. In fact please do that, famous/rich/political people, make an account and comment in our threads, that would be a very good idea for you and would definitely not be extremely funny for us.
The closest we've gotten is dunking on Haz when he had an account here. We absolutely need more of that.
