lemmy.world has been down very frequently, possibly due to DDoS attacks, and when a site that’s using Cloudflare is down, it displays a code 522 (sometimes it’s a 502, 503 or some variation).
Yesterday, (or the day before, honestly can’t remember) lemmy.world blocked piracy communities at the request of one user (who appears to be some far-right asshole), so many pirates are going to be cheering at lemmy.world’s frequent downtime.
Reminder: Although copyright infringement is unlawful in many countries, discussion of copyright infringement is usually considered protected free speech in many countries, so piracy communities are technically legal, as long as they don’t link directly to piracy content.
Oh do I have to explain the meme? 🤦♂️

They must be children if they can’t understand that Lemmy can’t afford to take on the movie industry in court.
