That's nice of them to walk it back. Definitely not something you'd see Reddit do

Yeah, it was a nice surprise for sure. I'm glad to have the lemmy.world crowd back, plenty of booty for all.
Dbzer0 is one of the few I have seen making Lemmy better and better.
Aww shucks :)
I used to have an account on that woke instance. Left the dumpster fire for lemmy.ml. Not going to entertain obvious censorship on Lemmy.
if you think a cesspit like .world is "woke" what the hell are you?
Just a free-minded individual with strong views about freedom of speech & censorship.
No anti-"woke" voices are even remotely approaching getting "censored" or "silenced". If they are then why do I have to hear about them every fucking day?
On the contrary, if you want to hear from a good portion of the population about issues that affect them you need some aggressively anti-racist anti-sexist anti-queerphobic etc spaces or you won't likely get the chance. Isn't hearing what real marginalized people have to say about their own experiences a million times more important than some vague worry about crypto-fash#56637 getting to say their piece which has already been heard and generally decided to be socially harmful and, importantly, silencing to the people their racist, ___-phobic etc speech implies violence to? A chilling effect as you 
enthusiasts call it.
Isn't freedom of speech more about an individual having the right to hear from many viewpoints, than it is about an individual having the right to say anything and everything, anywhere, any time, they so desire?
I’m curious what the takedown requests were citing, those communities don’t really host pirated material, they just share links and info.
There weren't any, it was just a troll account that asked admins at a bunch of different Lemmy instances to block anything related to piracy. Lemmy.world admins took the bait. Even in the original announcement they never mentioned anything about dealing with tons of takedown requests. In other words they were blocking piracy related content preemptively before any takedowns occurred.
It's nice they walked back that decision but I'm still not going to create an account there.
Lemmy.world has a bad habit of acting preemptively first and asking questions later.
