The largest piracy community is hosted over at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

lemmy.world has blocked it. It appears to have also blocked !piracy@lemmy.ml.

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).

Well, lemmy.world has shown their hand. They don't seem to have any consistent defederaion or content policy other than "whatever they feel like."

Abandoning my lw account and switching to lemm.ee now.

About lemm.ee . . . it's a great instance, no doubt, but maybe not the safe haven you think it is. The rules there leave the option of blocking "illegal content" and users/instances that post it wide open.

Excerpted from the Administration and federation policy on lemm.ee (the bold is their own):

Our rules apply even when you’re posting in a community on another instance. For example, this means that you’re not allowed to post advertisement spam using your lemm.ee account on any other instance (even if that other instance has no rules).

Admins:
Purge illegal content from lemm.ee
Ban lemm.ee users who break our rules on other instances

I don't like to piss in other peoples' Wheaties, just trying to save you and others some trouble. If you're looking to change to a piracy-friendly instance that will remain so regardless of how "illegal content" is defined at any particular moment, lemm.ee might not be it.

lol abandon Lemmy world for an instance that specifically won’t defederate from openly Nazi instances.

Lemmy.ee is still federated with exploding-heads and the skinheads instance.

In the real world there's these people called "Lawyers" who will happily sue relatively small, cash poor platforms like lemmy.world out of existence. What would you like the admins to do? Are you coughing up legal fees for them?

Discussion of illegal topics is legal in most of the world.
