As far as I understand, lemmy.world is banning/defederating piracy communities. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

I thought it's some people defending LTT/LMG after their latest stunt (possibly single-handedly killing a startup)
Linked post is also locked for some reason

Holy fuck, single-handedly killing a startup is way to exaggerated. I really don't wanna defend LMG/Linus here, their mistakes are horrendous and Linus' response was laughably bad. But Billet Labs are fine, they probably got more good advertising out of it than anything else.

They themselves said "What's happened recently is blip, we will not be stopped." on a r/LinusTechTips post

Anyone remembers the Scrapyard Wars series by LTT? about 5-10 years ago. That was really great content.
