    The communities discuss piracy, not host the content. They are two different things.

    The user that requested it was a troll account create dhours before. The same user then went on to create a transphobic community and post hate. Not the sort of person the admins should be knee jerking to.

      Yup, agreed 100%. The mods didn’t handle this “complaint” appropriately.

      I see the mods and admins are both not paying attention and are incompetent.

      The Pirate Bay also doesn’t host content, just links to torrents. Why has it been taken down then several times already?

      When you directly link pirated content it becomes a liability. Doesn’t matter if the actual content is on your own server or hosted with a third party.

        c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com rule 3:

        Don’t request or link to specific pirated titles
        

        Literally wasn’t even an issue. Its a bad take by power tripping admins spurred on by a troll. All-round terrible decision.

        Also comparing a Lemmy community to Pirate Bay is a gross exaggeration.
