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).

An official announcement has been made:

lemmy.world admins need a lesson on the Streisand Effect.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This isn't an example of Streisand effect

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Lots of people learned about this community thanks to the news that lemmy.world admins are blocking it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

It's the largest community by subscribers, I would be surprised if folks haven't came across it by now...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They aren't blocking it because they don't like it. They're blocking it because they're concerned about the liability.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't care why they are blocking it. They blocked it, so I quit lemmy.world.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's fine, I never said you shouldn't have.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

The Streisand effect is an unintended consequence of attempts to hide, remove, or censor information, where the effort instead backfires by increasing awareness of that information. It is named after American singer and actress Barbra Streisand, whose attempt to suppress the California Coastal Records Project's photograph of her cliff-top residence in Malibu, California, taken to document California coastal erosion, inadvertently drew greater attention to the photograph in 2003.

(I needed a lesson myself)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

The fact you assumed this was ideologically motivated is insane. Do you have any critical thinking skills?
