They must be paranoid about thinking that even the slightest link to any kind of pro-piracy conversation or community will get them sued into the ground.
Sounds more like stupid than paranoid.
I think the admins dug themselves into a hole tbh - last week they preemptively defederated from an instance because the admin doesn’t agree with their political ideologies and said that people from that instance might break the Lemmy.world rules so they need to be banned up front. Now this unhinged person posted a thread pointing out that piracy is against the Lemmy.world rules too, so they kinda had no choice unless they wanted to look like hypocrites.
