All the piracy subs I can find are dead, quiet, or too niche. I’d love to be part of an effort to bring reliable and maintained information about how to safely pirate to lemmy. It’s actually one of the most frustrating things about switching from reddit. Are we puritanical here or something? If we had active piracy scenes I pretty much wouldn’t have to be on reddit at all anymore.
On lemmy.world it is dead, you need to pop over to DB0 or ml.
The world admins have the stance that they don’t want to host or directly link to piracy content because of the legal trouble it may bring as it’s hosted in the Netherlands and the piracy rules are different here.
I had no idea, I heard they banned and then unbanned some piracy communities but that was it and it was a couple years ago. thanks for the context.
This is news to me so thanks for the heads up.
I’m awaiting my db0 approval now.
You don’t need to be registered there. Just at one that’s federated with it.
I thought NL had great laws and that is why basically every seedbox provider is based there.
Piracy related communities are blocked on lemmy.world
Lemmy.world tries really hard to follow the law. That means cracking down on illegal content. So yes, we are puritanical here.
At the very bottom is a menu with an entry called “Instances”. Click that to see lists of linked and blocked instances.
Personally I’m 📱 only so pirating is whatever streaming site works the best. Agreed that Lemmy could use more though, even if I can’t use it. Maybe Lenny is full of mobile phone chuds like me?
