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).

I think that the ability for servers to defederate from each other is the most distasteful thing about Lemmy. I get it, admins need to be able to stop their users from being exposed to e.g. illegal content should another server they don't control allow it, but there's got to be a better way than this. The primary effect is going to be things like this, things like ideologically opposed servers blocking each other, things like Threads being blocked whenever it federates. We don't need a million little fragmented walled gardens.

so a malicious instance/user that post child porn should just be able to infect as many instances as they want?

You can always run your own personal instance and never have this issue.

This is not an option for most people and will consequently hurt and potentially kill Lemmy as a whole.

how?
