Sorry to see you got downvoted for saying something that Reddit did better than Lemmy. I think a lot (though probably not the majority) of lemmings as well as people invoiced in open source can’t take criticism, especially of an open source project they care about. It is unfortunate as it negates a lot of the benefits of open source / free software.

I’m on a new domain now anyway. I will be more careful on this one, but I suspect they just didn’t look into it. I do really appreciate that you seem to be both knowledgeable and not an asshole. That seems to be a rare combination to find in this thread.

It typically is, and I won’t comment on whether mine is, but that isn’t enough reason to take it down. I was quite careful about who I gave access to, as well as making sure people had secure passwords. It is highly unlikely that anyone got in and saw any copyright violation before reporting it.

I kept it up for more than a year. By friends I mean like 3 people I know in real fucking life, and I made them all set secure passwords. Way to assume the worst about people, it is a very healthy attitude to have.
