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:
To be fair, I don't know where world is hosted by at least according to my local law here they'd be right: linking to piracy can get you in trouble.
Now usually you can safely ignore this still, sure. Unless you're large. And with world being so big I could see them being the very first target someone would drag in front of a court if they are in a place where such laws exist. It sounds stupid, but I can understand why the devs would not want to go through that.
Welp, this is the thing that got me to get rid of my lemmy.world account and move to lemm.ee. There were other issues I was able to overlook, but I need a community willing to stand up to laws that go against the interests of the people.
That's one way to tell people to switch instances before it's too late. Thanks for making this public.
Oh man. It's not like I can't understand the logic behind it, but active niche communities are the one thing lemmy really lacks as of right now, and piracy was one of the earliest and biggest exceptions to that. What a shame.
Reaction there: oh no... Anyway
What the heck?
Seems like my backup account is about to be my main account after all LMAO.
For legal reasons? Isn't lemmy.world hosted somewhere else but the USA?
This is bullshit honestly, I hope they back up from this decision.... Unlike Beehaw defederating from others because of light reasons.
It's weird seeing otherwise normal working class people rush to defend admins, moderators, governments and authorities all the time in situations like this. I'm imagining some college kids working at starbucks or grocery stores picking up their phone in between customers posting replies championing copyright law. It's embarrassing
Fact is, they have good reasons to. Lemmy likely was threatened by a larger industry that could've thrown millions of dollars around in a court to get Lemmy taken down. The guys running Lemmy wouldn't have enough money to win a lawsuit, the website could easily be taken down by a larger entity. When it comes to losing the community or blocking a couple communities, it's an easy choice. In summary, they're just trying to save the website by avoiding future lawsuits, and these communities still exist but can't be accessed on Lemmy itself.
Hah, just joined that yesterday.
Guess I should get the blood flowing on my accounts on some other instances.
