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).
edit:
An official announcement has been made:
It's possibly a reaction to this post but there hasn't been an announcement yet.
Based on community reaction I don't feel like its been banned just yet. More like bungiefan made a fool of himself, mods banned him, and locked the thread.
Edit: just searched, not showing up. Would like at least some clarification from admins/staff on what the reasoning was.
Edit 2: Left this reply in Lemmy.world's discord server:
It's no longer accessible via lemmy.world, whether that post is the cause or not it's definitely been blocked from lemmy.world.
Ahh I see, well unfortunate. But what happened, happened.
So, I don’t know much about the federating thing. Will I still be able to see posts from them (ones I’m subscribed to etc) or that’s gone now too?
It appears they've removed the community but not blocked the lemmy.dbzer0.com instance entirely.
What this means for you as a lemmy.world user: you won't be able to view content posted to [email protected] anymore. That's it.
If they fully defederated from the whole of lemmy.dbzer0.com, it would mean you'd see no content from any community/users based on lemmy.dbzer0.com.
I’m an user from the DB0 Piracy community (it’s the instance I’m on).
But I assume it’s the same way. Thanks!
Oh right my bad. Yes, from your perspective this isn't an issue yet. You can still browse it just fine (unlike lemmy.world users). Although it will likely lead to less users discovering the piracy community, = less activity there.
