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).

An official announcement has been made:

At least they just blocked the community instead of defederating

Would you mind explaining the difference?

Blocking the community just blocks those specific communities. Defederating would be blocking everything on lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Basically they blocked the communities but not the instances they were hosted on, so people on lemmy.world can still interact with posts and comments made by people like me

Defederating cuts off the whole instance. They just blocked those three piracy communities as far as I understand.
