      Yeah. Banned due to liability of the admins getting sued by big corp for hosting. It was really fun reading both sides. Some users pissed and threatening to leave the server. Others agreeing with the decision calling the opposing users whiny and asking why did you even join one of the biggest servers then? 10/10 recommend reading the threads.

      Try opening these in a new tab and observe the difference:

      Original Instance: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

      When viewed through lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

      If your instance did not block the piracy community you should be able to visit it:

      !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com (this will be viewed through your instance, if your instance is lemmy.world, there will be an error message)

          Apparently there are third party apps now that can do it somehow, but I don’t know how reliable they are.

          I just made a new account and delt with it. But yeah it was a pain

      Yeah because it’s evil and illegal and stuff, and everyone knows that a illegal stuff needs to be banned by unrelated admins what is an entirely different website.

        there are quite a few people who don’t know you were being sarcastic. Either that or they agree with the admin’s decision.
