Humans who run instances are real people who have jobs and mortgages and kids. I also like having piracy communities around to balance the greedy ass corporations trying to control media and copyright…I’m glad to know they are there if I need them or feel like screwing around with it. I just wonder if the people ranting all indignantly acting like instances are competing for their usership would feel the same if the most active instance was on a server physically sitting in their basement, or paid for by money tied to them in the real world. Yes it seems pretty unlikely that you’re ever going to run into issues with law enforcement, copyright claims, lawsuits…but how much would you risk for a fucking hobby you do for free? Would you risk your house? Your job? I would not. Grow up. No one cares what instance you use.
The biggest thing is simply. "Lemmy.world "…
If someone really is that upset, create your own instance. Find an instance that agrees with you and swap it. I’m not anti-piracy, but this seems like a fundamental difference between you and Lemmy World, that essentially means you should find a different instance.
(or go create an account on a piracy server and here if that’s what it takes)
lemmy.world is obviously WORSE than Reddit now. Reddit saved her users.

She punishes bad mods but does NOT block any communities with shitty reasons as Lemmy said.
Lemmy devs said “Just an instance did. Lemmy is not evil!” as it were someone else’s issue, and blamed Reddit somehow.
Then, did other lemmy instances de-federate lemmy.world? Did Lemmy devs blame lemmy.world? No, no, and no, they did not! This problem is not about an instance but Lemmy platform. They did not understand that SNS is not a playground for blocking-all-he-dislikes kids. This act will kill themselves as R*ssia is doing now.
