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:
The instance wasn't defederated. Just the community blocked.
Why tho. I can block a community myself if i dont want to see it. This does not make sense.
They want to avoid lawsuit. Which are probably going to happen to dbzer0, I don't know where they are hosted, but they might get in trouble once they reach a large userbase
No pirated content is hosted on the instance. It’s just refugees from communities that already existed on reddit for years with no issues.
I went over to my other account and got this https://lemm.ee/post/4235833
Ive seen this account or at least the same kinda text with communities some dick wants to be defederated on all sort of instances. Looks like a troll
Then why doesn't Reddit have that problem with r/piracy?
They have lawyers to defend themselves.
They do, they just have the manpower to deal with it.
Because community content is cached on other instances, so you can find all the content from these piracy communities under the lemmy.world domain as well and this is likely to be interpreted by law enforcement / a judge as hosting this content, which can get the server admins into legal trouble depending on the jurisdiction.
IIRC, lemmy.world is hosted in the US, making them liable under US laws.
edit: IR incorrectly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They are actually hosted in Finland, but some of the admins are US based and can thus also get into legal trouble. Not sure about the legal situation in Finland.
oops!
They are afraid of liabilities, maybe...
There is no "maybe", that's exactly what it is (it's in the OP's link).
Lemmy.world may be one of the largest instances but it never promised to be a straight Reddit clone. While it's still figuring out scaling up and still attracting large DDOS attacks, the last thing they need to be dealing with is DMCA claims and letters from copyright lawyers.
This is the beauty of federated social media. Don't like the rules? Go somewhere else.
Me? I currently don't care... I am not interested in that community, I know that people who are interested can still visit it from other instances.
The server and owner are in Europe. Though the anti piracy laws here are tough. Honestly can’t blame them.
There are other instances that don’t have this issue though.
Which doesn't makes it less shitty.
It does. Defederating basically blocks all their communities and users for everyone on your instance. It's a far bigger deal than blocking a community
I still don't agree with the decision, but it's a matter of scale
