    Remember that lemmy.world has to keep a copy of whatever content appears in a federated community on their servers, making them legally liable for the content. At least they just blocked the community instead of defederating.

      Would you mind explaining the difference?

        Basically they blocked the communities but not the instances they were hosted on, so people on lemmy.world can still interact with posts and comments made by people like me

        Defederating cuts off the whole instance. They just blocked those three piracy communities as far as I understand.
