Whole services have shut down because they don't support copyright. YouTube's very first legal battle had to do with copyright. Discord shuts down several servers a day because those servers violate copyright. Scientology exists solely because of the power of copyright law. Copyright enforcement is quite big.

Technically neither of them do. Blahaj has had a neopronoun problem since day 1. They'll also take sides between transphobes instead of condemning both their transphobia. That's sneaky shit.
And you don't think Trump would apply a stunt like that to the fediverse? He currently has a program where the government vets immigrants for their social media posts when they sign up for American citizenship. I would dare pray someone moving to America who has a Lemmy profile doesn't get found out as a lemming.
My surprise lies in the fact there's a difference between being anti-copyright and banning people for being pro-copyright.
What subreddit has this happened in? I've used Reddit daily for a decade and only experienced this once.
Copyright is more than just about the distribution. Copyright laws...
- Encourage credit to be given, when people often otherwise not give credit
- Prevent people from making money from something that is given away for free
- Prevent people from making fake versions of a book, like what happened to the fifth Harry Potter book
- Through all of this maintain incentive for artists to make art
I counted way more than two communities.
In case people missed it (I will assume good faith here), "anti-AI troll" is another way of saying "this person is concerned about copyright".
I counted a dozen communities where this happened. Typically, when someone is banned from multiple communities for the same reason simultaneously, an admin is involved and that it might be an instance ban in disguise. Is this wrong?

That was a mod, not an admin. We didn’t do shit.
A mod banned the individual from a dozen communities?
What the hell are you even trying to do, anymore? like genuinely, i have no idea what you’re trying to aim for.
It's just everyday commentary. I don't see where the confusion is. Everything I've said reflects something that concerns me.
edit: Also fuck copyright.
Using someone's work without their permission is exploitation. People have to spend time out of their day to make something creative, so coattail riding off of them takes away the incentive to make the art, which interferes with the artistic process. The ancient Romans even knew enough to have a concept of copyright. In the very least, people should be giving credit to the artists, as you would when you are gifted something.
I've never had any of the names described above.
The fact there are a few entries that have both "anti-AI troll" and "copyright apologia" as motives suggests the person was engaging in both.
