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:
You must log in or register to comment.
That’s super lame and disappointing. Democracy my ass, the users didn’t vote for this.
Together with their recent removal of a community focused on shrooms, lemmy.world is starting to seem excessively puritanical for my tastes.
same.
I’m not a child. Stop treating me like it.
Do you know where did that community move to?
Awesome, thank you.
It’s a volunteer ran instance and the first rule is no illegal content.
Go find a different instance if you’re so butthurt.
!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com does not have illegal content
Checked the stickied post and it is full with links to various piracy sites. This is like when trackers use “We are not sharing files, just links” defense.
I have. I would have replied from that account, but it hadn’t federated this thread before I subscribed. Happy passive aggressiving, though
stop taking law as moral fact
Me on sh.itjust.works still enjoying these posts 🥹
Munches on popcorn while sitting in kbin
lemmy.world as the largest instance on Lemmy is starting to look out for “problematic” behaviours, I guess
It’s free as in beer, not free as in freedom, apparently. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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.
About lemm.ee . . . it’s a great instance, no doubt, but maybe not the safe haven you think it is. The rules there leave the option of blocking “illegal content” and users/instances that post it wide open.
Excerpted from the Administration and federation policy on lemm.ee (the bold is their own):
Our rules apply even when you’re posting in a community on another instance. For example, this means that you’re not allowed to post advertisement spam using your lemm.ee account on any other instance (even if that other instance has no rules).
Admins:
Purge illegal content from lemm.ee
Ban lemm.ee users who break our rules on other instancesI don’t like to piss in other peoples’ Wheaties, just trying to save you and others some trouble. If you’re looking to change to a piracy-friendly instance that will remain so regardless of how “illegal content” is defined at any particular moment, lemm.ee might not be it.
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.
In the real world there’s these people called “Lawyers” who will happily sue relatively small, cash poor platforms like lemmy.world out of existence. What would you like the admins to do? Are you coughing up legal fees for them?
Discussion of illegal topics is legal in most of the world.
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.
Super lame lemmy.world, I hope this decision can be reversed.
I thought we escaped this bullshit here.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding this, but there’s nothing stopping anyone from having logins in either place. Using Voyager, for instance, I can have multiple logins on multiple servers with the same app.
It’s annoying having to create logins on multiple instances. I always forget passwords and have to remember which servers i have accounts.
For example i had an account on one of the “lemmy. something” instance, but they defederated from shit.justworks so i created an account there. I changed phone and i relogged in from shitjjustworks but forgot what was my other login. And now do i have to create a new one to access the piracy one?
I wish there was one Lenny instance i could create an access and have access to the entirety of lemmy, without having to bother
First off, you should be using a password manager. This is probably a good opportunity to get into the habit.

Any small instance will probably never be defederated by anybody else unless they’re focused on something controversial.
I always forget passwords
Use a password manager! it takes me literally less than 30 seconds to generate a password (and username if you want) make a new account and save the password
I’d rec BitWarden
The workflow is so much better than relying on your own passwords

That’s most of them honestly. lemm.ee doesn’t really block anyone for example. The only major instance that blocks sh.itjust.works is beehaw.org, but they block a significant amount of instances.
I mean its not their fault for trying to be proactive with this site gaining so much online traction. People are complaining, but they posted the named instances!!! They know its bullshit but they were like hey just go here and make a new account! It wouldve been different if they done this quietly.
