I just realised that the MegaLinks subreddit wouldn’t have had to close up if it was selfhosted on the fediverse, the idea of independent servers for each major sub is fascinating.

That being said, I’m sure it would have ran into new issues.

Edit: Changed ML to MegaLinks.

    I was thinking it’s only a matter of userbase before a piracy Lemmy instance gets a DMCA, their domain registrar and/or host would be the thing that can’t be avoided.

    Most likely we will just see mirrored instances like with torrent indexers.
