I watched Enemy At The Gates yesterday and was thinking that there are distinct similarities with what’s happening in Ukraine today.

Agreed. My wife came off her bike while we were riding together and if she hadn’t been wearing a helmet I don’t even want to think about the outcome. As it was she was knocked out cold, and lost her memory for several hours. There was a huge dent in her cycle helmet that would have been in her head instead if she hadn’t been wearing it. Will always wear a helmet when cycling.
While it is true they are not directly responsible for these communities, they are linking to them through federation. As others have mentioned, lemmy.world is hosted in Germany where laws are stricter around linking to potentially illegal activities. They don’t have the legal team available to them that Reddit do so obviously they want to protect themselves. If it’s a problem to you, sign up with an instance that doesn’t block that type of content.
So why is that a problem? The hosts of Lemmy.world aren’t beholden to provide you with every resource available and at the same time potentially expose themselves to legal issues.
I suspect this won’t be a popular opinion, but it seems strange to me that a lot of people are making a fuss about lemmy.world blocking communities that literally advocate for illegal practices. If you disagree with lemmy.world blocking piracy communities, where should they draw the line? Allow literally any community to be created irrespective of the legality of what its advocating for? I would presume (and hope) that you wouldn’t have a problem with lemmy.world blocking CP communities for example?
The Fediverse can’t function as a free-for-all. It has to have rules, and instances have to be able to police those rules for the betterment of the whole.
Loved Avenue 5 - shame it got cancelled.
What utopia is this that you get a choice of 12?!! I just checked and I get two options - red or orange.

Just wait for Musky to try and start suing people for using anything with “X” in the title/name.

They’re what is called federated. They use the same protocols which allow each to see the other. The best comparison I’ve heard to describe it is like how you can read emails irrespective if someone used Google Mail, Yahoo Mail, or Microsoft Outlook, or whatever email sending software.
I didn’t put all my money in. I bought a 1.5% share. It was funded from part of my redundancy settlement from the previous company I worked for. Was it a gamble? Yes. Was it high risk to me? No. Besides the question wasn’t asking for advice.
Buying shares in a company I work at when it started up. I’ve had a 500% return in dividends over 7 years so far.
Yes! It seems that half the community posts on here are just Reddit-bashing and that isn’t going to drive engagement at all.

Bravo browser on Android does a great job at blocking ads on YouTube. After the demise of Vanced this is how I watch YouTube.
I’m using Jerboa and everything seems to be working fine. Edit: Jerboa started playing up mainly crashing on opening it. Binned it off and now using Connect
