At this point I'm impressed by how much effort Twitter devs must've have put into making the site shittier and less accessible.

By the time you finished making this snarky meme, you could've set up a program to OCR a book yourself.

AFAIK, lemmy.world only blocked !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com community, not the whole instance, and unblocked it a few months afterwards.

True, it's not right to call lemmy.world users "reddit-brained".

Meta downloading these books for AI training seems fairly straight-forward fair use to me.

They pirated the books. Is that not legally relevant?

The illustration of that patent practically a meme, many on Lemmy should know it.

Though it should be kept in mind there's thousands of patents that were never actually applied, and this one was filled back in 2009.

We quite literally have the tech and the legal framework

Do patents necessarily have to follow the law?

Idk, you should check Wikipedia.

Where did you hear about that? It sounds odd, because surely Google could've filtered out the swearwords, and at the end of the day users still had to solve the captcha correctly sooner or later if they wanted to post.

One issue is that lemmy is too anonymous and that leads to it not attracting content creators that don’t actually want to be anonymous and want to create a presence

That's not an issue. Reddit was equally anonymous yet it did just fine (relatively speaking). The different users' usernames that can theoretically appear the same can be fixed by making it mandatory to show your instance next to your username, rather than hiding it if you change your default username. But even without that anyone can hover over your profile name and see which instance you're from, so really you can't actually deceive people regarding the nature of your account.
