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:

but only if you know enough about the fediverse to be aware; if i had no logged into like i usually don't do on these days, i would never know and spend the rest of my time on lemmy.world trying to figure out why i can't find any pirating stuff to share.

I would think it would be the responsibility of lemmy.world to put up a notice of why they've done this, if they've not then that potentially reflects badly on them (but I don't know enough about the details and reasons).

True, would have expected something in !lemmyworld@lemmy.world but there's been nothing announced there.

Makes me a bit suspicious that there is any credibility to the claim. We're going off a supposed screenshot of what looks like a Discord message?

If you try to access one of the blocked communities from lemmy.world you'll see it's blocked, dude

That... would've been a good idea to try ha.

True but nothing a little education can't fix.
