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).
edit:
An official announcement has been made:
I love all the salty comments about having to move. Its piracy, it will always be removed if it becomes too popular. This is how it has always been and always will be. No one is obligated to feed you free shit without any effort on your part. They take one place down and you move on. Either get used to it or start paying for services.
Why does no one understand that the admins don't want the instance to be shut down and they don't want to be arrested????
I am very pro-piracy, but I would never host a piracy community because I don't want to be freaking jailed. Governments view those that host piracy and piracy communities much more harshly than random participants.
Is everyone on this website 12 years old and not understanding of real world consequences???
Because from everything I've seen, those communities did not do ANYTHING illegal. They talked about software that can be used that way, but if we go by that measure, discussing any Fediverse software is illegal, because you could use that to host illegal content.
No, they haven't done anything illegal yet. But the key word is "yet" and the admins obviously don't want to risk it.
If it was your ass on the line for potential prison time, I'm sure you'd have a different opinion.
But that's true of literally every single community. Posting copyrighted images in a pics community, copyrighted music in a little video/gif, a nazi denying the holocaust (illegal in Germany) in one little comment a hundred comments in...
Who do you think is more likely to overstep? A community very well aware of the risks and the scrutiny they are under, full of people that are themselves aware of the risks, or some rando on some random community?
Obviously, they are allowed to ban or not ban whatever they want, but I just think it's a very short sighted, quickfire decision.
Why stop there, why not defedrate from all NSFW communities because they could post questionable content in the future?
Edit : /s
Well I thoguht they already have with the porn instances that actively center around and post things like loli, no??
They have from some instances with questionable content but not many others without questionable content. The question is do you persecute someone because you think you would be badly affected if they commit a crime in the future, even though they haven't so far and doesn't seem to be on the path to either?
Piracy is a crime. Piracy communities constantly tow the line of legality and have a tendency to attract legal attention even if they are trying to not host content themselves.
Fucking amen. It sucks but it's a fact of life. LW is covering their asses like any of us would
They just should shut down their instance if they can't run it without defederation excessively, blocking communities and even using a word filter.
I don't understand why everyone is so shocked they did it. Hosting information on pirating stuff is a lightning rod for lawsuits and Lemmy.world is large enough to actually get noticed.
I'm only surprised it took them that long to block it.
BBS to IRC to P2P to torrent with all manner of shady websites and other crap thrown in. That's just in my Internet life from 2002. I never used BBS but I was aware of them. Registering a new account is nothing compared to how much harder it used to be pirating stuff.
Exactly. If you're someone who engages in piracy, you should be quite used to putting in this type of effort.
yeah like.. WTF you gonna try to do this on a major social media site.. how stupid is that shit.. Go to IRC, fools.
I doubt the majority of people even know what IRC is. A lot of people just want free shit without having to do any work.
Also surprised to read the whining about the whining.
"Without any effort on your part"
Yeah you're right, as a world citizen we all get automatically created accounts for all Lemmy instances /s
Oh nooooooooo I had to make an account on new instance. Woeeeee is me. Here you forgot your reeeeeeeee.
You said no effort whatsoever you whiny prick
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, mommy I had to make a new account on a new instance. My precious seconds mommy, more tendiesssss reeeeeee
YoU sToLeD a GaMe I'm TeLlInG
Reeeeeeeee my piracy isn’t easy, I have to make accounts and actually search for alternatives when things get shut down.
For the record, I pirated for years when I had no money. if you want easy access go pay for it. If you want free shit get in your dinghy and sail the seas. No one is obligated to host piracy forums and servers. Take yo ass to an instance that allows it. I bet you’re the type to torrent everything, not even have the decency to seed and then bitch about not finding good seeds for things you want.
