As far as I understand, lemmy.world is banning/defederating piracy communities. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

This was what this post was referencing. Thanks for answering this question for me! I haven’t watched LTT/LMG in over 5-6 years, so I have no idea what’s going on with that.

I’ve never seen it shortened that way before. Is that common?

I thought it’s some people defending LTT/LMG after their latest stunt (possibly single-handedly killing a startup)
Linked post is also locked for some reason

Is your link meant to direct me to a foot fetish image? Or is it some federation shenanigans?

they linked to post 886994 on startrek.website however the client you’re using loaded up post 886994 on lemmy.blahaj.zone

when resolved correctly, OP’s post ends up being post 1845218 on lemmy.blahaj.zone.

Holy fuck, single-handedly killing a startup is way to exaggerated. I really don’t wanna defend LMG/Linus here, their mistakes are horrendous and Linus’ response was laughably bad. But Billet Labs are fine, they probably got more good advertising out of it than anything else.

They themselves said “What’s happened recently is blip, we will not be stopped.” on a r/LinusTechTips post

The good advertising only happened after everything went down, before that they were discarded/dismissed by the largest tech review channel on the internet.

Nothing about that entire situation is good advertising.
