        They blocked piracy for like a day over a year ago and then unblocked it when the users were clearly against it.

        Hexbear being blocked is a good thing and overwhelmingly supported by the users.

          Still blocked for me. Every time I click [email protected] returns a “couldnt_find_community” error message.

              You’re loading into the main dbzero webpage, not pulling the data into your .world instance.

        1. blocking hexbear is a good idea
        2. world unblocked priacy instances over a year ago with the notable exception of the db0 instance

            just checked if I can see piracy on lemmy.world and yes you’re correct. Though it seems only the db0 instance was banned in particular weirdly.

            I still stand by point 1 though. Hexbear as an instance has been profile-blocked by me.

        So they took the initiative to stop Hexbear brigading and spamming their authoritarian bootlicking on their instance? Good choice.
