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:
Why does no one understand that the admins don’t want the instance to be shut down and they don’t want to be arrested???
I am very pro-piracy, but I would never host a piracy community because I don’t want to be freaking jailed. Governments view those that host piracy and piracy communities much more harshly than random participants.
Is everyone on this website 12 years old and not understanding of real world consequences???
Fucking amen. It sucks but it’s a fact of life. LW is covering their asses like any of us would
Because from everything I’ve seen, those communities did not do ANYTHING illegal. They talked about software that can be used that way, but if we go by that measure, discussing any Fediverse software is illegal, because you could use that to host illegal content.
They just should shut down their instance if they can’t run it without defederation excessively, blocking communities and even using a word filter.
