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 just created an account on lemm.ee - thanks for the info.

I just created an account on lemm.ee

I did that too but for now i'll just use both. 💁‍♂️

hey i have one of those too!

So can you talk about pirate-related stuff there? Is it all free and open or more of a wink-wink-nod-nod type of thing where you can't talk about where pirate stuff comes from?

Based on their rules, they might ban content of that nature being talked about in their own communities. However they have a high bar for defederating from other instances. Even if piracy talk isn't allowed on lemm.ee communities, they won't defederate from communities that do allow it. This means you can still see it when browsing lemm.ee, but it's hosted somewhere else.

What lemmy.world has done is make it so you can't see anything from those piracy instances when browsing from Lemmy.world. lemm.ee will allow you to see almost anything besides truly disturbing and illegal stuff like porn of the underage variety.

Wow, that's really shitty.
