The reddit piracy community was in a neverending struggle to avoid being banned from the site, constantly censoring and restricting what people could post to keep the reddit admins happy. What’s the situation with that sort of thing on lemmy? Is it a free for all? Same situation as back there? Something in between? I guess we may all find out together…

    The ActivityPub protocol already does the “load balancing” part of your suggestion, it’s the core feature of it in fact. But at the same time, the community itself is still only hosted on one server, so if it’s removed there then all the previous content becomes “orphaned”, but it still remains on all previously subscribed/participating servers.
