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.
It will be interesting to see how it shakes out. I could see World being a safe place to create big mainstream communities, and maybe remain a good starting point for people joining the fediverse.
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.
