I agree, I’m just answering the why question. Free software licenses don’t have non-commercial clauses and they want an NC clause.

I presume the reason they didn’t use GPL3 is because they wanted the attribution and non-commercial clauses offered by CC-BY-NC.
Not suggesting that they should not prefer to drop those clauses in favour of a copyleft free software licence. but you asked “why not” and losing those clauses is clearly an obvious candidate for why they might not want to.
Ricardo was testing in production
I know this doesn’t answer the question but I want to offer some advice instead.
In my opinion just don’t. If the company want you to have access to emails on the go then they should give you a company phone. If they don’t, why are you trying to? Don’t put work things on your personal phone.
Any specific infringement material (by which I mean media) would only be on the user’s home server. Links to content aren’t what is actionable for a DMCA notice as far as I’m aware. And the DMCA does not require platforms to actively monitor or remove potentially infringing content, only to follow the takedown procedure when sent an appropriate notification. If they follow that then they are protected from liability. That’s US law but IIRC the implementations in most of the rest of the world are similar if not the same. And here’s the rub: even without those communities, LW will still need to have a DMCA agent and take action against content when notified because people can and will upload infringing media here on other communities.
They’re not exposing themselves to additional risk by having the piracy communities unblocked. People can and will discuss piracy, in abstract terms at the very least, all over the place. And discussion of copyright infringement is not copyright infringement anyway. Any liability and risk they do hold they will still have to worry about now regardless.
Does your lemmy instance have a character limit?
If you don’t like the gestures (like me) the most recent version has options to turn them off and give you buttons instead. For me thunder is nearly there in terms of being the experience I want. I wish it handled that back button better, but all the other apps like Jerboa also suffer poor back button behaviour too.
UK law makers won’t be able to enforce their law even if it’s passed.
that said, we should also always remember that unenforceable law is law that can and will be selectively applied. Something they can whip out against people when they don’t have anything else.
https://lemmyverse.net/ is the most complete list you’re likely to find since it uses a crawler to find federated instances and their communities from an initial seed list of known instances. So unless an instance is defederated from all of the instances in their seed list then it should appear on there. It also counts subscriber numbers, etc. as a sum across all the instances it finds, which should give a sense of where the majority of the community are gathered if there are duplicates.
There is a more performant C++ implementation but it’s been a long while since I’ve used either it or the java implementation. Worth checking out.
I don’t think they’re saying it failed. They’re saying that it will fail long before the body ever does.
