It would appear lemmy.world has blocked this community

To be honest, it's not a huge deal. The copyright cartel can easily send dmca requests to your isp just for having text guidelines. Not everyone has the bandwidth or energy to deal with stuff like that.

I just wish this wasn't done at the request of a transphobic racist who just did it to get back at is for getting banned for making transphobic and racist communities in this instance.

Fucking Lemmy.world is hot garbage. They're down every day and are constantly defederating with any instance that doesn't fit their narrow, sanitized world views. It's also one of the most recommended Lemmy's with more new users going there than anywhere else. I think it incredibly damaging in the long run to have 50% of active users on this platform to be centralized on one domain. Especially if this domain makes as many boneheaded decisions as lemmy.world

This feels like an obvious bullshit cop-out reason to defederate against a specific community that they don't like for whatever silly reason they can't reveal to the public.

Never have I seen an actual link to content survive very long on lemmy.ml or dbzer0.com. Just like the good old /r/Piracy we discuss piracy, but we do not directly facilitate it.

Someone please slap the back of their heads repeatedly and aggressively with these facts. This excuse is disingenuous as hell.

If you are a user of lemmy.world; RUN. NOW! Find a new instance. Switch away from them before they reach terminal enshitification velocity.

And just like that I learned about a Steam Deck piracy community.

Something something Streisand Effect.

A transphobic troll got spanked and then retaliated with that post and the .world admins were stupid enough to blindly follow the directions of an alt-right turd.

Just saying.

And the fact that I can see this means sh.itjust.works hasn't, yey

I think this is better tbh, I personally don't like it when piracy forums/sites/whatever piracy related thing goes too mainstream. Maybe it's gatekeeping, I don't know, I just don't want another Z-Library incident.

Either way, they probably aren't even against piracy, they're probably just lazy and don't want to deal with any of the issues they could potentially face down the line.

Edit - grammar

Hi Lemm.ee. Bye lemmy.world.

Lemmy.world is dogshit. It feels like a nanny instance or like a reddit 2.0. Idk why people keep joining that bullshit instead of spreading out.

I'm so happy that I joined a small instance that hasn't defederated or been defederated from anyone

wow it's almost like having a huge chunk of lemmy's users in one instance is a bad thing. who would've thought.

seriously though more people should migrate to smaller instances.

I will just subscribe here from my porn account then.

Hello all. First post here. Moved over from lemmy.world because of this.

Made the switch from lemmy.world the other day due to this. Not necessarily because of who they defederated/blocked, but because this happens with little/no consultation or communication with the user base. The frequency of it became frustrating; who knows what other community/instance will be blocked on a whim next?

I appreciate that the LW admins do this as a hobby in their free time, but things like this could be approached in a better way, or at the very least with better communication. I found out about this via a post in /c/mildlyinfuriating, which in itself was mildly infuriating lol.

Migrated to this instance, and I can choose via Connect which instances or communities I want to see. Should have done this sooner.

federation works as intended

Dumb mfs: FUcK lEmMy.wOrld pOwEr tRipers rreEEeE

Guess which is the reddit clone.

Its fair enough. They gotta protect their ass.

I just logged into a user made on this instance. Problem solved. And lemmy.world has had a ton of downtime anyway. Always trouble loading comments and often trouble loading posts

I don't hold it against them. They have their hands full at the moment with DDOS attacks. The admins are barely able to keep the place running. The beauty of federation is that we can pick and choose where to sail from.

wow, and they only announce it in their discord. fuck lemmy.world

That’s funny because lemmy.world has been blocking every community for hours on end multiple times a week on a seemingly regular basis. Their shits broke.

I find funny that we all are raging about this dumb move, and lemmy.world ppl can't because of the blocking lol.

If I was on that instance and subscribed to this community, I wouldn't see these posts any more? If I wasn't paying attention would I even know it was gone?

Thanks to their post I discovered !steamdeckpirates and a second piracy community.

Lemmy.world sucks, it's constantly down and they block communities people want to federate with, and leave communities federated people want blocked.

Guess my alt account has now become my main account. Thus, the Lemmy dance continues.

Moved over here from .world. kthxbai!

Meanwhile all kbin users: 🫢🍿

Lemmy world is turning into Reddit v2 or Twitter v2. I'm happy about my decision to leave that dumpster fire. Let's hope this nonsense helps others to migrate as well.

Wow, I mean all instances are free to what they wanna, but banning a sub seems extreme

Oh no... Anyway

.world has already become a shithole echo chamber. Good thing lemmy's technology can not really let it take over the platform as a whole like it did with reddit.

I've been liking .zip so far.

Was there some context or discussion about that over there? If I recall correctly, lemmy.world is hosted in Germany, right? The lawyers there are quite extreme when it comes to cracking down on piracy; is a whole business model.... So maybe .world is just overly cautious

Nothing of value is lost. 😂

Never thought beehaw would end up being more based than lemmy world.

This sub just got a new member. Thank miss Streisand :)

The best part is lemmy.world notified its users of this change on...discord. lol

Great social media site, where you notify end users of major changes on another platform entirely.

This is ultimately why I decided to roll my own instance. I'm keeping my backup here though in case I mess something up, but full control is nice to have.

Yeah, had to swtich instances because of that.

The legal environment around Lemmy is tenuous at best. Content and / or actions that are legal in one nation are illegal in others but Lemmy caches that content on every federated instance with active users.

To illustrate the complexity involved consider a Mexican user on a Lemmy instance located in Germany that visits exploding heads to view Nazi content. Which nations laws are controlling?

What about when an Australian user on a Finnish Lemmy instance who accesses something like fauxbait from lemmynsfw.com? Those images are arguably illegal in Australia but who has liability here? The Australian user? The Finnish Lemmy instance? Lemmynsfw.com?

In both of those scenarios the User is one country with its own set of laws, the Users Host Instance and its content cache are in a 2nd country with a different set of laws, and the instance hosting the content is in 3rd country with yet another set of laws!

It's the same problem with digital piracy, who is legally liable when the law, and remember we don't even know whose laws apply, is breached? The User? Their Host Instance? The Content Host? All of them?

Legal lightening is absolutely going to strike a Lemmy instance soon and no sane instance operator wants to be the lightening rod.

Thank God I moved to programming.dev recently. I may have to make a burner on dbzero just in case.

Honestly, I'm ok with it. Piracy shouldn't be something that anyone can see. More something people find after looking for it. Yes there is the con to having less users but the more users we have the more risk we take on.

The real question in my mind is: how do we ensure the instance this community is on doesn't get shut down? Seems to me like c/piracy itself might be a legal target, and as far as I can tell, none of the instances are big enough to have legal teams to sheild it from legal threats

And this is why my main account is on the piracy instance.

@Madbrad200

Sounds like we're going to need an instance to be hosted outside of the reach of US copywrong law

If Lemmy.world decides to roll advertisements we'll know why at least.

I just made an account to discover that we’re blocked. Wtf lol, this is my first post.

Yay for power-tripping.

aaand a whole new me!

I'm a pirate at heart, yarr ;)

I literally just switched to feddit.nl before reading this, the lemmy.world admins are all cucks.

Yet another reason I'm glad I run my own instance and can make those decisions for myself.

They also censor the word "bitch". Not a good look.

I’ve got an account on Lemmy.world and on there  Piracy@lemmy.ml isn’t showing up as well..

Lucky that my instance moderation doesn't oppose piracy

Glad I switched instance a few days ago anyway! :)

There's also !piracy@lemmy.ml ?

Well, that's interesting. Good thing I have an alts on different instances

Cringe af. A pirates life for me 🏴‍☠️ 🦜 🏴 argggg

I was on Lemmy World too, but lately they’ve started to restrict more and more. Restricting access to piracy was my limit

did they give a reason for that?

Fuck lemmy.world, good it's a bunch of trash anyway.

My main account is on the piracy instance. So it's fine. I'm fine.

lemmy.world is slooooow

I was wondering what happened. Noticed this community disappear from my lemmy world subscriptions. Am posting this from my kbin.

Moved to lemmy.blahaj.zone because of this. And also I kinda got fed up with the outages even though it's not their fault. Glad to see the federation thing is working as intended.

Any word on where lemmy.one stands on this? For the moment, I'm still getting this, but I'll create another account elsewhere if necessary.

The kick that made me switch

Well migrated today and uh yeah sucks ass that this happened.

currently not allowed

currently

🤔 Hold your horses, mateys!

Was to lazy to change instances even though .world was always down. Actively censoring made me finally pull the plug. Thanks for helping me out I guess

I mean, the great thing about federation is that you can just have different accounts for different servers

The reason why I have a lemmy account is to be a part of the piracy community. My account is also registered on this instance. So as long as I am able to access this community I am good. Plus making a second account on lemmy.world for the communities on therewill take literally seconds . Absolutely no need to panic.

Reason #1,201 that creating https://lemmyonline.com was a fantastic idea.

I wanna leave lemmy.ml but idk what instance to join

As long as my single-tenant instance doesn't get defederated by association, I'm fine

potential legal issues haunting more site admins 😔

No wonder they are getting everyone mad at them

Ok this might look like noob posting but I'm fresh af on Lemmy & trying to figure out if my account transfers here so test comment.

We will never block it ;)

Since we're here, what have they banned exactly ?

Men, it sucks and lemmy.world always had wannabe-corpo vibes but I somewhat understand the decision, I mean it's not the worst of reasons

So, this community isn't hosted on lemmy.world because they don't what that on their servers. Fine. But now they're censoring what I can see?! Are we okay with this?

How does this affect me? I still see the community, and I'm still able to post on it. Why do I care what lemmy.world is doing?

lemmy.world doing god's work here. We need more people to squash these malicious actors, piracy can't be allowed to continue unhindered.
