    Lots of people learned about this community thanks to the news that lemmy.world admins are blocking it.

      They aren’t trying to get the community removed, they just don’t want to host their content.

      So bringing attention to it is not at odds with their goals.

        Exactly. This is about protecting themselves from legal liability, not anything else. As the guy who hosts it is just a regular guy, not a corporation with limited liability/tons of startup dollarbucks, I don’t begrudge him/them at all.

      They aren’t blocking it because they don’t like it. They’re blocking it because they’re concerned about the liability.
