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:

It's weird seeing otherwise normal working class people rush to defend admins, moderators, governments and authorities all the time in situations like this. I'm imagining some college kids working at starbucks or grocery stores picking up their phone in between customers posting replies championing copyright law. It's embarrassing

As an administrator of many different public-facing services I'm always going to defend other admins right to moderate their services in whatever manner makes them comfortable, even if I don't agree with their decision.
