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.
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
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.
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.

Nothing about that entire situation is good advertising.

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

Appreciate the H2G2 reference 😌
I’ve never seen it shortened that way before. Is that common?
Quite, yes. Douglas Adams himself founded http://www.h2g2.com back in 1999.
Huh, TIL! Thanks! :)
