This community got removed from lemmy.world (again) - Divisions by zero
lemmy.dbzer0.com
This is another post that alerted me of this. https://lemmy.world/post/13287681 [https://lemmy.world/post/13287681] And here is the modlog: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveCommunity [https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveCommunity]

This has happened once before and they reversed it. But they said this last time too:

The discussions that have happened in various threads on Lemmy make it very clear that removing the communites before we announced our intent to remove them is not the level of transparency the community expects, and that as stewards of this community we need to be extremely transparent before we do this again in the future as well as make sure that we get feedback around what the planned changes are, because lemmy.world is yours as much as it is ours.

    Is lemmy.world trying to appeal to advertisers? Kinda sounds like it. Banning discussion oriented piracy subs, outlawing paywall bypassing in news@lemmy.world, etc.

        idt they need to, unless they get a letter. the chances are astronomically low for that.

      Do they even have advertisers? Tbh I’ve had adblockers on for years I wouldn’t even know.

        Lemmy is probably the worst place to sell to advertisers seen how many people run adblockers around here

        They don’t. It’s just wild speculation while in reality lemmy.world probably banned it because they got a legal notice and don’t want to get sued.

      Or maybe avoiding litigation? Weird that you think of advertising first, it’s like you don’t have critical thought.
