Instance management styles reflect the variety of human personalities and tastes. There will always be a few power trippers, but at least now we can escape. Fuck u/spez@lemmy.world

If some people love piracy that much, they can use an account in the respective instance. Everyone happy, no harm done.

True, I agree, it's not a big deal, just another account, but I can live with it, yes.

PS: but there is still a case to be made for eclectic instances that host a variety of content. Otherwise, if you pile all piracy with porn, weed and whatever legal gray areas it will be easier to pick them off. Same with politics, debatable science, etc. If you concentrate them too much, federation is moot.

Completely agree.
