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:
to my knowledge this is the one instance that isn’t willing to take that stand lol, it should be understand that all instances in the federation share a common interest to protect their users against copyright trolls
That is the beauty of federation. You don’t have to accept everything because it is a choice of the different instances. There is no collective, but a series of independent voices.
I respect the right of the autonomy of instances and like I said, this is something within the domain of their individual moderation decisions, but we do in fact share collective interests, it’s like with federating with facebook, it’s not just a matter of individual instance preferences, anyone who federates with Meta would be blocked by everyone who isn’t because they then become data mining conduits.
This is somewhat similar to the DCMA issue, the copyright trolls are the enemy of all of us and if you’re willing to compromise with them without even a plausible legal threat. Well that hurts the rest of us. You might as well be inviting them to go after the other evil pirate instances.
