    I love all the salty comments about having to move. Its piracy, it will always be removed if it becomes too popular. This is how it has always been and always will be. No one is obligated to feed you free shit without any effort on your part. They take one place down and you move on. Either get used to it or start paying for services.

      Why does no one understand that the admins don’t want the instance to be shut down and they don’t want to be arrested???

      I am very pro-piracy, but I would never host a piracy community because I don’t want to be freaking jailed. Governments view those that host piracy and piracy communities much more harshly than random participants.

      Is everyone on this website 12 years old and not understanding of real world consequences???

        They just should shut down their instance if they can’t run it without defederation excessively, blocking communities and even using a word filter.

      I don’t understand why everyone is so shocked they did it. Hosting information on pirating stuff is a lightning rod for lawsuits and Lemmy.world is large enough to actually get noticed.

      I’m only surprised it took them that long to block it.

      Exactly. If you’re someone who engages in piracy, you should be quite used to putting in this type of effort.

        I doubt the majority of people even know what IRC is. A lot of people just want free shit without having to do any work.
