  • Not that I’m defending this move, but there is a difference between this and your example. iirc, the way Lemmy works, to get content from other instances, this instance “caches” the data and then hosts the data on their server(s) for the users to access. Because of this, the instance is technically hosting the data and could theoretically be held liable in any lawsuits.

    Please do correct me if I misunderstand how Lemmy works. Also reading through other comments, it seems like no pirated content is actually hosted on those communities, so I doubt that they could be held liable in the first place.
