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).

An official announcement has been made:

        And that is why the way federation works right now needs a rethink. Users should be able to access content not cached by their home servers, so that the servers can defederate and don’t get into hot water for content from federated instances.

          I agree, but I wonder what the implications are for resources. I imagine that takes a whole lot more, instead of caching.

        I could respect it if they owned that and said “we are covering the admin team’s butts.” Instead, they say this is to protect users. Laughable.

          They said more than just the users lol. Why make shit up?

          They said it’s to protect the instance, the admins, and the users specifically because of potential lawsuits and legal issues.

      You seriously don’t understand what would lead some otherwise ordinary people who happened to start a lemmy instance that happened to become the biggest one from blocking a community the mere existence of which on their servers could lead to them getting sued into bankruptcy by some multinational corporation?
