Not even Reddit banned their r/piracy

The last paragraph clearly shows you have absolutely no idea why people are upset.

Is there any way to migrate accounts to other instances yet?

Absolutely understandable decision. I would have done the same.

I‘m absolutely pro pirated software, as in many cases DRM violates many personal rights, so this decision will lead to the deletion of my account. I never support censorship. Gbye.

time to migrate change instance shit.

ITT a bunch of fuckheads who don't understand how federation works, and thinks that lemmy should be a free-for-all with infinite 'freedom of speech'

Jesus, go host your own instances, there's literally nothing stopping you. it's as easy as editing a config file and running a single command. Why people find defederation some major sleight i'll never understand.

Unpinned hoping this goes away?

Based on the down votes and comments I think a lot of people could benefit from reading the whole post...

Thank you for the update, and thank you for working hard to keep the gates to the Fediverse open.

Sorry you're getting so much flack from folks who don't understand how federation works.

I believe most will understand in time, and go on to become valuable additions to the Fediverse.

Hang in there, and know that the many of understand and appreciate what you're doing.

Thank you for the update!

Oh well, there goes the removal of my monthly donation.

Pathetic. Defeats the entire point if federated networks.

This is how lemmy is going to fail with the entire thing being fragmented mess. Which is sad as I was hoping it would be the proper exit plan for Reddit.

I'm sure this comment will receive plenty of hate, but I'm really struggling to understand why piracy seems to get so staunchly defended by seemingly everyone here. Piracy is stealing. It is morally wrong. We can argue all day about how it's a 'victimless crime' or how media conglomerates are greedy and deserve it, but at the end of the day there's nothing that makes it 'right'. With maybe a few exceptions, no one needs the things they're pirating and it's just childish to refuse to pay for content and go on pretending it's a necessity. What needs to happen is more money going to the creators whose content we all enjoy so much.

There's plenty of places to go where you can still interact with these communities, and we shouldn't be surprised that a large and general instance wants to be distant from them. Personally I applaud the decision.

Well it didn't take long for censorship to roll in.

WTF. Time to go. See ya.

I'm surprised this is so down voted, I guess there's a bunch of airheads in this community

Reddit 2.0...already migrating off this censorship.

You can use LASIM app (Windows/Mac/Linux) to migrate your profile and settings to another instance. Highly recommend.
