The largest piracy community is hosted over at [email protected]

lemmy.world has blocked it. It appears to have also blocked [email protected].

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).

I disagree that it doesn't matter, even if it is less relevant to lemmy.world's course of action.

many people in this thread are making moral arguments against piracy, and most of the people doing so are just appealing to the authority of the law.

but if you really want to have a discussion about the risk to lemmy.world, there wasn't any yet. the piracy community also disallowed sharing direct links to files, and even in the event that lemmy.world had received a DMCA, that would have been the moment to do something about it, they aren't liable for just hosting content unless they ignore one of those. acting like they are going to get singled out and have the servers shut down and raided because they might have a cache of some person's comments from a different website where someone might have posted direct links to illegal files is a massive overreaction. This whole thing was set off by a troll that was mad that they got banned from https://lemmy.dbzer0.com for being transphobic and tried to tattle on the group like a toddler, not because of any implication that the risks were about to change.

not that anyone but the admin's opinions matter in this case, it is their server. they could do anything at all and it wouldn't matter to me regardless of it's legality or risk. Doesn't change that I'm not fan of large corporations or the people that bend over backwards for them, out of fear or any reason.
