That narrative appears to be correct, although at the end I think it may have been more like "You know, now that this asshole mentions it, maybe we shouldn't host stuff from these piracy communities as Lemmy's largest instance. That might create problems for us down the road."
They definitely should have been more transparent about why they chose to do it at this particular time.
I'm almost certain that's what actually went down, but I'm explicitly referring to the issue of people's perception.
