This still baffles me, but I guess it's good for federation? (i.imgflip.com)

I know, right? How dare they stop us from stealing movies and computer games!

100% understand why Lemmy World did this. Piracy opens the floodgates for legal trouble and is largely the reason why the piracy community over on Reddit is probably one of the most sanitized, locked-down and censored parts of the site.

Would you want a non-profit being sued to oblivion because somebody posted torrent links?

Lemmy.world banned piracy so a lot of people will stop using lemmy.world, splitting the load

Sucks for us interested in it but It's completely understandable. Making an account on another instance and transferring your data takes no time at all, which is exactly what I did.

Just made an alt account on lemm.ee

Same here. Not because I'm a pirate, but because lemmy.world has been trigger happy with blocking instances /communities. I did not leave reddit to be a part of even bigger shit show. So here's hoping the fediverse works out.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me if the loser dweebs at lemmy.world want to ban the piracy comms. lol, even reddit-logo allows piracy subs.
