I’d love a safe mainstream place based on mutual respect and healthy discussions of different viewpoints. Lemmy.world will not be that place if they continue their course. Defeterating pre-emptively (like hexbear) or banning community for discussing pirating (mind you, talking about pirating is not illegal and the community hosted no pirated content) is only a way of creating the Stepford Wifes community.

I created an account today on lemm.ee because I thought defeterating from hexbear sucked, then there were others and today was the last straw, even though I don’t pirate. I didn’t leave reddit for more restrictive platform. Lemmy.world sucks balls.

Same here. Not because I’m a pirate, but because lemmy.world has been trigger happy with blocking instances /communities. I did not leave reddit to be a part of even bigger shit show. So here’s hoping the fediverse works out.
