    It’s unfortunate, but it’s kinda understandable why they chose to do so. The admins are just a bunch of regular people, they may not have the financial security to risk the legal issues that could come from having any sort of piracy related content.

    I guess I’ll just be using my alt acc for piracy stuff.

        For what it’s worth, that’s super applaudable of you. This is what I like to see on Lemmy. People understanding the world isn’t black and white, and that you have to make compromises.

      Yeah, it really can’t be helped. The piracy community can always just shut down and congregate elsewhere. It’s significantly harder for a more general community to scatter and reform.

      I don’t blame them—it’s expensive to go through a legal battle and it’s best to avoid getting the attention of money-hungry legal teams.

      You can definitely find some gray-area links on that community and it’s a liability.

      Right? Regular people have regular problems. No need to add on-top of that.

      One of the best parts is that you can migrate your subscriptions in probably less than 5 minutes now as well!
