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).
edit:
An official announcement has been made:
Oh come on. Its not like world has pirated files on their server which they share with everyone or something. Its just info.
If they are that scared might as well stop with setting up lemmy servers. Or block all that fucking kiddie hentai communities
And yet linking to legally finable content on servers run by other parties can incur fines on the order of 50k-250k over here in Germany. I’ll be honest, if I ran any we site I’d be removing anything can be constructed as such a link, too.
Chances of me getting fined would be about 0, but it’s really not a risk I’d be willing to take. And this is the largest lemmy instance so if anyone where to go after lemmy, they’d go after world.
