These communities are not even hosted on lemmy.world, this is an absurdly overreacted response. There were no signs of any legal trouble and I can't understand how lemmy.world specifically would be the target of such legal action. If you want to host an instance, you should do everything in your power to allow discussions on any topic, while in necessary cases disallowing direct posting/linking of illegal content. Instead, you chose to block a community that has long been known to avoid having any trouble with the moderators.
I enjoyed helping this place grow and doing my part to discuss here but I disagree with this decision and I'm going to evaluate looking for a different home instance.
They probably won't if it's individual people, though they are donation funded so if they show their supporters that they don't care those supporters might stop financially supporting lemmy.world. So telling them they should just leave because you don't care or handing out petty bans like "let me help you" isn't going to inspire these people to continue contributing donations.
This website doesn't make a profit, but that's all the more reason there should be an effort to not make people hate them, because I don't know anyone who would enthusiastically donate to support people or an organization they hate.
Aww you didn't seem to like what I said did you, darling. I'm not planning on not saying things just because it bothers you, Stay mad, trolls ๐ ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
