The largest piracy community is hosted over at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
lemmy.world has blocked it. It appears to have also blocked !piracy@lemmy.ml.
If this is a problem for you, I'd suggest migrating accounts using LASIM to an instance that doesn't block it (such as lemm.ee).
edit:
An official announcement has been made:
You should probably add in a step where you stop to consider why there is a correlation between an instance refusing to block stuff and it's admins being scumbags. If the entire Fediverse divides itself into people who disagree with your position on what should and shouldn't be blocked and people who agree with your position but also have a bunch of awful beliefs you can't support... Maybe you're just fucking wrong on this one?
You realize i have no idea what the community is about, especially considering that I'm migrating from reddit. For me, and many others like me, lemmy is a great unknown where i register to everything or the instances i find out through a quick google search or reddit recommendation...
...only to use it for a few days and realize that i may have made a terrible mistake. Lemmy.world sounded to me like the important one to have - and then they make a carpet ban without considering the community. I don't really care about piracy that much, but I agree on principle and find it mindblowing that a behemoth like reddit would have no issue with it, yet Lemmy.world trying to get as many reddit refugees shows that they will stop all discourse on a topic for fear of it spiralling. This shows that a big instance such as Lemmy.world is simply not ready for a large number of users.
I deleted lemmy.world. I left a comment for admins that will get me banned anyway having called them spineless. You are probably more versed in lemmy-verse than I (and probably many other new users) are, but understand that not everyone finds it easy. If I now have to keep migrating i will probably just delete lemmy completely.
Sounds like the Fediverse just isn't for you, then. There's a trade-off in using a decentralized platform instead of a walled garden like Reddit.
They only have to keep migrating because every time they join a new instance they either don't agree with the admin's approach to blocking content or they do but those admins tolerate intolerable content.
Presumably they're leaving Reddit for a similar reason and will continue to have the exact same issue across any social media platforms until they find a way to resolve that issue. Either by accepting that seeking a highly permissive blocking policy will put them in the company of scumbags, or reassess whether they're right about how relaxed they want the moderation of the spaces they inhabit to be.
Personally my take away in those circumstances would be, "hmm, seems like only scumbags share these beliefs with me. I'd better look much more carefully at those beliefs..." but we all need to choose our own paths...
My comment has nothing to do with how much you know about Lemmy.
Your claim is that you keep leaving spaces that have blocking policies you disagree with to find spaces that have blocking policies you agree with but are unhappy to keep finding that those spaces also support awful things.
My perspective is that maybe it's not bad luck, maybe there's just a correlation between not wanting to block stuff and being full of awful stuff. So rather then keep endlessly searching for somewhere that doesn't believe in blocking things but somehow isn't full of awful things, maybe you should reassess your position on things being blocked.
