Incredible growth. just goes to show how little we needed to be in Reddit.

Fundamentally the risk to the community is similar, all it takes is for an instance administrator to decide to nuke the community and there'll be nothing we can do about it. But unlike on Reddit, there's no single administrator that can nuke every piracy community. There will always be a piracy community somewhere on Lemmy, even if it isn't this one

The instance owner is an anarchist that doesn't care about copyright. We aint shutting down unless he gets sued, and the case also needs standing. As long as we dont link directly to pirated content, we're fine.

The risk is significantly reduced if the instance its running on and the domain host is in a country that isnt legally obligated to honor DMCA takedowns. Wothout doing research, this instance likely is in a major country, and therefor not its permanent location because of this. but whats different than reddit is we have the capability to host the servers ourself where we want.

Once(if) its taken down, another instance can be run from a more friendly country and DMCA notices wont have any weight legally.

The only problem then would be popular home instances going excommunicado with the pirate instance like that bee one did recently

Even popular home instances going excomunicado isn't a huge deal, as people can just make an alternative account just for this instance. Jerbora already supports multiple accounts so it's hardly an inconvenience.
