This is the inevitable consequence of being the largest instance, you get the most scrutiny from copyright trolls.
From lemmy.world's inception (and before), I along with many other Lemmy users have sang the chorus of: if you don't like an instance's policies, you can leave and join a separate instance!
That's the whole point of a federated, de-centralized model.
@Rentlar @nxlemmy
A policy is built by informed consent. There has to be a process and a reasoning and human hands who can be held accountable when things aren't done right. I don't think any Fedi instances are doing "policy" by that definition. And that's entirely because they don't want their users/trolls to use/game the system, I believe.
To strengthen the power of the Fediverse, more self-hosted instances is the way.
