The largest piracy community is hosted over at [email protected]
lemmy.world has blocked it. It appears to have also blocked [email protected].
If this is a problem for you, I’d suggest migrating accounts using LASIM to an instance that doesn’t block it (such as lemm.ee).
edit:
An official announcement has been made:
Given lemmy.world’s uptime vs how well pirates keep torrent seeds up, I’d be surprised if anyone in that community actually uses lemmy.world as a primary instance lmao
i myself switched away from lemmy.world due to how unstable it is, glad i did so.
They don’t. The guy who pushed for it was a troll who made an account specifically to make a big splash and cause issues for the instance and its admins. Wouldn’t be suprised if bots were involved to upvote the concern troll thread.
The community in question didn’t even have anything illegal on it. The troll argued “well they discussed pirating as a thing that exists”. That’s great, do you push for the shutting down of every “true crime” community too? Serial killing is pretty darn illegal but talking about it sure isn’t.
Ouch!
