The largest piracy community is hosted over at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

lemmy.world has blocked it. It appears to have also blocked !piracy@lemmy.ml.

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:

I get it cuz corpos be sue happy lately but at least it shows the Federation's strength: simply having another account routes around the problem.

If this was reddit it'd be gone for good.

But here it's just a mild inconvenience.

[-] ipha@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Well, lemmy.world has shown their hand. They don't seem to have any consistent defederaion or content policy other than "whatever they feel like."

Abandoning my lw account and switching to lemm.ee now.

[-] protput@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm also going to switch I think.

[-] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

lol abandon Lemmy world for an instance that specifically won’t defederate from openly Nazi instances.

Lemmy.ee is still federated with exploding-heads and the skinheads instance.

Haha power trip feels good it seems. The bane of fediverse existence.

[-] protput@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Wtf. Just give them a warning or something. Even reddit still had a piracy community.

[-] MaximilianKohler@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It seems to be unblocked? I can visit both those communities/instances via lemmy.world.

Yeah, found the announcement https://old.lemmy.world/post/6018317

[-] Eeyore_Syndrome@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Me on sh.itjust.works still enjoying these posts 🥹

[-] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

And that's why a huge portion of that instance's userbase isn't there anymore.

[-] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

That’s the instance I’m on, what was the reason they blocked it?

[-] Madbrad200@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

It's possibly a reaction to this post but there hasn't been an announcement yet.

[-] elouboub@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

And this is the beauty of the fediverse right here: an instance decides it doesn't want some specific content doesn't mean the community dies. It just lives on on another instance.

Once these services can operate on the darknet like I2P (which supports anonymous torrenting btw), then things might really pick up steam.

[-] Khalic@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

Please kbin don’t be stupid like them…

[-] ShadowRam@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

So far kbin has letting us decide for ourselves what to block..

I'm not haven't seen anything yet saying kbin has defederated from anything.

[-] cacheson@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Kbin does defederate, but doesn't publish the defederations. EH and grad are blocked, at least. They are planning to add a page for it though.
