The largest piracy community is hosted over at [email protected]
lemmy.world has blocked it. It appears to have also blocked [email protected].
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:
This isn’t an example of Streisand effect
Lots of people learned about this community thanks to the news that lemmy.world admins are blocking it.
They aren’t trying to get the community removed, they just don’t want to host their content.
So bringing attention to it is not at odds with their goals.
Exactly. This is about protecting themselves from legal liability, not anything else. As the guy who hosts it is just a regular guy, not a corporation with limited liability/tons of startup dollarbucks, I don’t begrudge him/them at all.

It’s the largest community by subscribers, I would be surprised if folks haven’t came across it by now…
They aren’t blocking it because they don’t like it. They’re blocking it because they’re concerned about the liability.
I don’t care why they are blocking it. They blocked it, so I quit lemmy.world.
That’s fine, I never said you shouldn’t have.
