They didn't defederate, they simply blocked that community from being hosted locally on lemmy.world. The admins of lemmy.world cannot moderate the content coming from a community hosted on another instance. They can only moderate content that originates here.
I seriously doubt after the Reddit fiasco last month that "pirating" is the reason the largest number of users are here. Considering the population went up by like a factor of 10 and about zero came because of pirating....
Lemme World doesn't want a fight and resources lost to that fight that they can't win. This is a smart logical decision.
