“Unremoval of Piracy Communities” https://lemmy.world/post/6018317

This post needs to be updated to reflect the current policy.

Six months later, a new Removal of piracy communities announcement confirmed that these communities had been removed. !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which was the most popular piracy community, is still inaccessible to lemmy.world users. This is misleading: users see the old post, sign-up, and then find out they cannot access the community.

Please edit the original post to include the new removal announcement.

        People have had 2 years to switch to another instance. Lemmy.zip, used by OP, is nice.

          Personally I think if LW wants to ban a certain kind of content, more power to them. But they should be transparent about it.

          If they’ve said they’ll unban pirate content, then pirate content should be allowed. If they want it banned, fine, but make a statement clarifying that that is the case.

          OP is doing good work by pointing this out.

            Then they’re the same as the Reddit users who refuse to move. It’s not hard to move to a different Lemmy/PieFed instance, that’s our strength. You can export your account data and import it to your new instance so your subscriptions transfer.

                Sure but IDK that just doesn’t seem important. That’s the same issue we had switching from Reddit to Lemmy. My Reddit posts aren’t gone and neither are my programming.dev posts, I’m here on retrolemmy.com now and I’m fine leaving my old account behind. If I need to edit an old post then I’ll open programming.dev but that doesn’t bother me.
