Comment on I think my sister asked this. But why can't we have a pirate community? Like not teaching how to pirate but just articles on streaming is raising prices, stuff from torrentfreak.com and other things?

  There was brouhaha when they first blocked it (I think they originally defederated from db0) and the reason given was .world had received a takedown notice from a rights holder because of a thread where someone was actually sharing some sort of copyright material. They felt like they were attracting attention as one of the largest instances, even though they weren’t the source.

    None of that is true. They were never defederated, nor did they receive a takedown (that I know of). They simply blocked the community out of an abundance of caution because they felt an image with a URL to the TLD of a pirate site is too risky.
