Yeah I'd guess that such an instance would be on a lot of Blocklists very soon since pretty much everyone hosting instances is doing it as a volunteer and not as a job so noone wants to have this kind of legal trouble as a possibility

Plus its no harm to discuss it and links can be added in base64 or hidden in images so you could just post an image of a game with the link hidden inside. Then users just download the image and run a command to extract the link.

One such tool is called steghide. That way there is no takedown as there is no link in a search engine so its not found. steghide should be in your distro's repository. I'm sure there is probably some windows version too
