PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world - sh.itjust.works

The largest piracy community is hosted over at [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] lemmy.world has blocked it, if this is a problem for you, I’d suggest migrating accounts using LASIM [https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim/releases] to an instance that doesn’t block it (such as lemm.ee [https://lemm.ee/signup]).

I really don’t get what’s going on with lemmy.world blocking communities like this. Without the threat of loss of ad revenue what is to be gained from blocking communities exercising free speech?

Lower risk of lawsuits, especially frivolous ones

And that is why the way federation works right now needs a rethink. Users should be able to access content not cached by their home servers, so that the servers can defederate and don’t get into hot water for content from federated instances.

I agree, but I wonder what the implications are for resources. I imagine that takes a whole lot more, instead of caching.
