    Probably because it could raise copyright issues for Beehaw since Beehaw would be hosting the article.

        Lemmy was founded on the idea that different instances can decide questions like this for themselves.

        It seems that Beehaw has chosen one direction, but there may be other instances out there that have chosen another direction.

            Maybe, but users from other instances would be lowest opinions I would expect the admins to consider. I would expect mods, financial contributers, and users registered to this instance to have a far greater day in how this instance is run.

                There was an answer from a mod, they don’t want to infringe on the copyright here.

                    No. It is worse if they try to make money on it, but a profit motive isn’t necessary.
