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).

Wtf dbzero was a huge proponent of the fediverse and has been a part of the recent swell in users. I don’t agree with this decision at all

Remember that lemmy.world has to keep a copy of whatever content appears in a federated community on their servers, making them legally liable for the content. At least they just blocked the community instead of defederating.

Would you mind explaining the difference?

Blocking the community just blocks those specific communities. Defederating would be blocking everything on lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Basically they blocked the communities but not the instances they were hosted on, so people on lemmy.world can still interact with posts and comments made by people like me

Defederating cuts off the whole instance. They just blocked those three piracy communities as far as I understand.

I mean if you support illegally hosted material you can be forced to take down your website. As much as it sucks, piracy is illegal. Anyways, they haven’t defederated, just blocked that community.

In many jurisdictions what they’re doing there isn’t illegal at all. It is well understood that you do not post links out in the open.

Downloading isn’t illegal, sharing is. At least outside of the US (and a few others)
