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:
And here I thought that Fediverse was serious about being an alternative to heavily censored platforms. Now I see it's just a joke.
The only thing it's serious about is being a decentralized platform - if you want to access something, then choose an instance who'se admins are serious about being heavily censored.
It's the old adage of "if you don't like something, do something about it"
The fediverse gives you the tools and ability to surf the fediverse how you want, all through decentralization. Don't like the rules on one instance? Move, simple as that.
It's the same context of "vote with your wallet" - only put your accounts and time into instances you want to put your account on and only donate to instances you want to donate to, vote with your time and money, that's how we can make this platform better, for ourselves and for others.
It's not censorship, it's just smart people protecting themselves from liability. Some things are clearly illegal and the admins should not be expected to take the heat for people who participate in those illegal activities.
That's why I moved away from lemmy.world. I don't want such admins.
And that's the fediverse working as intended.
But aren't they protected under the same laws that other sites like Reddit are already protected under?
As far as being responsible for what their users post, last I heard that already had laws that protected the sites that hosted them so they were not responsible.
IANAL.
Legal / illegal is the wrong term here because this type of thing is a civil matter.
If you were a volunteer admin and receive a cease and desist notice from an expensive law firm with an army of lawyers representing a client with infinite money, what would you do?
Would you pay your own lawyers out of your own pocket to stand up for your freedoms and rights, or would you just roll over and let someone else take up that fight? Would definitely be the latter for me.
Lemmy.world is hosted on a german Server and afaik run by german people. Hosting or even just linking to anything piracy related in germany would be suicide.
Finnish server, main admin is Dutch.
My bad. I was sure i read somewhere they are hosted in germany. guess i was wrong. Still, hosting or linking to illegal stuff inside the EU is probably still a very bad idea. apart from it violating the ToS of the hoster (Hetzner).
They banned the shrooms community too. So glad I never volunteered to help these people..
It's not censorship, it's a liability/legal issue.
This isn't "the fediverse", it's a single instance.
You can move to a dedicated piracy instance or start your own.
Exactly
I just logged into my user from lemmy.dbzer0.com instead of .world
Not like you can't access their community anymore
Go back to Reddit.
