Sounds pretty reasonable to me if the loser dweebs at lemmy.world want to ban the piracy comms. lol, even reddit-logo allows piracy subs.

Since the hexbear federation I've seen that little stormfront logo a lot, illuminate me, what's that?

Stromfront is a literal white supremacist neo-Nazi forum. As in the logo on their website has "White Pride World Wide" written around a Celtic cross. If you've ever seen The Boys, that site is the reason the character Stormfront is named that, and she's positively nice compared to some of what goes on in that forum.

The whole point is to liken Reddit to Stormfront, and it's connected to hexbear because ChapoTrapHouse is on hexbear and ChapoTrapHouse is more or less the only lefty subreddit to ever be punished under rules against brigading, calls for violence, etc. They were quarantined and later banned. So since Reddit banned an explicitly lefty sub that one time, that makes Reddit akin to a white supremacist hate forum.

Ty, so it wasn't a reddit sub?

There is a stormfront subreddit, but it's a different thing entirely. Someone snapped up the sub name and made a sub about severe weather, specifically to snub their noses at Stormfront the neo-Nazi group.

Not as much fun as the worldnews and anime_titties subreddits.

Oh man, I remember when the anime_titties debacle happened. My front page was suddenly full of hentai one morning, and I didn't no why. I thought my account had been hacked at first lol
