    Because piracy is illegal and the mods of lemmy.world are afraid of getting in legal trouble.

      but lemmy is a very small project compared to reddit,which has r/piracy active with no problems, and the piracy communities here don’t share links for example, so it just seems like paranoia from the admins of lemmy.world.

        That makes it even easier for big companies to bully you. If you’re a big company you can actually afford a lawyer to tell these parasites to fuck off.

        It being small might be part of the problem. Reddit has more money to fight legal battles than lemmy.world

        It takes very little to sue a small project out of existence. It’s a risk they can’t take.
