      They’re just normal people running the instance, not a major corporation with a legal team. While it’s unfortunate they defederated, it’s understandable that they’d rather be overly cautious when it comes to stuff they can be sued for

        Anyone can be sued for anything. That alone isn’t a good reason.

        A website like this is never going to be actually held liable for people making comments about piracy. That’s not how the law works.
