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:
lemmy.world admins need a lesson on the Streisand Effect.
They don't care about people using it, they might even personally do it themselves.
It's about reducing their liability, which this does just fine
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.

(I needed a lesson myself)
Yeah, I remember when this happened. Few people noticed or cared about the picture if her house until she tried to have it removed. Then it was suddenly on every blog site and news agency.
And the reason this isn't an example of that is that Lemmy.world isn't attempting to keep anyone from going to c/piracy, they just don't want the liability of having it on their servers. Anyone can very easily make another account and go there.
The fact you assumed this was ideologically motivated is insane. Do you have any critical thinking skills?
