Thanks, that's a bit more meat. Should probably look for their publications.

Paywalled.

I know shrine from another place and used to trust him. However, among other things, he silently dropped privileges on other mod accounts on /r/libgen and /r/scihub. I wanted to point you to a pinned post of mine for the gory details, but that seems to be no longer there. I'm not going to check the mod log who cleaned up but just going to assume it was him.

So, I no longer trust him to be a good steward of a community and will not work with him on any project.

You seem to see drama where there is none. It's simply about finding a more suitable location. I could run an instance myself, but I don't trust myself to make it sustainable enough.

I did not realize that the instance owners were so risk-averse. This means I need to research the final haven thoroughly before committing.

That's run by shrine, who I no longer trust.

Yes, I've also made accounts on some other instances. Not made the jump to run my own yet, the code base is not yet sufficiently stable nor are the moderation tools yet there.

I've joined there a while ago. It will likely be our next home.

Her parents have been harassed. She herself will not return to Germany for fear of persecution.

I recall several other cases in the press where people were persecuted and fined.

To recap, there is recently introduced very broad legislation which can be enforced selectively and is being used to harass and silence dissenting opinions. As lemmy.world operators are censoring a piracy community for fear of liability and hence are likely to do the same for political communities I will be moving on from this instance to a more permissive one. EOT.

It is illegal in Germany to voice a nonmainstream opinion. See https://linkezeitung.de/2022/06/16/meinungsfreiheit-deutsche-staatsanwaltschaft-ermittelt-gegen-alina-lipp/ for a case citing the relevant laws. Other countries like Czechia and some Baltic countries have similar legislation. It is not yet illegal to bypass blocks of censored mass media like e.g. RT, Sputnik News or any Russian TV channel.
