The reddit piracy community was in a neverending struggle to avoid being banned from the site, constantly censoring and restricting what people could post to keep the reddit admins happy. What’s the situation with that sort of thing on lemmy? Is it a free for all? Same situation as back there? Something in between? I guess we may all find out together…
This is why it’s important that no one instance become the “main” instance for a federated service (see also: mastodon.social getting a lot of flack for officially becoming the default server). If that instance goes down then it suddenly takes a huge chunk of users and content with it. So long as lemmy.ml is one among dozens then all is good!
instance redundancy would be nice then
Why not load balance all content to all instances? So if an instance gets killed, the content remains. Or at least a backup strategy to rebuild an instance in the event of a take down
