Why do lemmy world’s admins even run the damn site if they don’t have the slightest idea how the laws around hosting work? There is literally no issue here and if there was it would be solved by them THEN taking down the post. At this point it almost seems suspicious that this group of milquetoast liberals afraid of their own shadows managed to have the largest lemmy instance, for seemingly no good reason.
This is apparently from the admins, so that the site doesn’t get DCMA takedowns that they can’t afford to fight.
ahhh, i see. double bummer

Set up your own instance and show them how it’s done. They probably have better things to do to respond to DMCA requests
They would easily spend more time pro-actively removing multiple comments than they would one dcma requested comment.
Presumably, they ask the mods to do that to avoid the DMCA shenanigans.
Would be good if it was clarified in the community rules, though.
Ah so they’re off sourcing the work to the mods.
Still it’s a system that creates more work than is actually needed.
