I think when they say 'illegal content' they mean, like, drugs and terrorism. Piracy probably ranks pretty low on the list.
Now yes the definition of piracy technically fits in the definition of 'illegal content', but just because two definitions intersect doesn't mean you will get the logical consequences. The word of the rules is one thing, the rules in practice is another, so i think you can get away with a lot regardless of instance.
Besides, do the rules apply to the instance where you have your account, or to the instance where you're posting/commenting? I genuinely don't know
That is essentially what I was asking. It kind of seems like it's both, but I'm no fediverse expert.
I guess it really just depends how much of a stickler the lemmy.world mods are, and/or if they have any way of finding out I'm linking to stuff like that.
