Well considering the instance that !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is run on is run by the MOD’s as long as you follow the rules you should be fine.
Could you elaborate a little? I think I’ve got a reasonable handle on how Lemmy works across instances, but there are still a couple of things that I haven’t grasped just yet.
- User accounts - I have accounts with the same username across 3 or 4 different instances at this point. I’m still yet to grasp how a ban would work in the fediverse, or who would ultimately be responsible for a global ban. If I were banned for posting piracy related content on one instance, would that just mean that I can no longer participate on that particular instance? That nobody from that instance could see my posted content from other instances? Would all of my content disappear altogether? Is there some sort of link between my accounts given that they have the same username?
It’s all quite confusing on that front.
- Overarching powers - is the banhammer truly localised, or is there an over-arching censor power that could wipe out a user across multiple instances at once?
Thanks to anyone who can help to answer.
Let’s say you’re on your lemmy.ml account, and you get banned from the lemmy.dbzer0.com instance, you would just be banned from that instance not all instances. But if you got banned on lemmy.ml from lemmy.ml then you’d lose access to that account. Alternatively, you can also get banned on a community level as well. In regard to your accounts with the same name between instances there is no link, they are entirely separate.
Just my uninformed personal opinion, but the way I see it is that considering Lemmy isn’t a corporation and isn’t focused on ad revenue, I doubt we’ll see the same tight strangulation of rules like we see on other sites. Reddit was a far more free platform in the early days, but once investors and capital growth entered the mix we saw a vast tightening of what was and wasn’t accepted on the site. This is just my hope though, as I’m thoroughly enjoying the feeling of the “old” internet that Lemmy has given me since I joined last week.
I think the problem is that some random lemmy mod won’t want to deal with DMCA takedowns and threats, so they will probably enforce it down, which is understandable.
Good point, hadn’t considered the individual repurcussions.
I hope less restrictive. Would be nice to speak about these things without feeling like a speakeasy and having to play cherades to help a fellow out.
depends on your instance owner and where they live
