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 all might have to just start selfhosting like me.
How is self-hosting in regards to resources (disk space, memory, network etc)? And does it need to be public?
My friend has a private one, we’re the only users.
I just have whatever ports forwarded but I don’t have signups public. It works fine except for the arm64 image not being updated but I switched to the other build of the docker image and it works.
It is relatively light on resources, you can even host it on your own PC. And it does not need to be public, just don’t expose the port publicly and voila…
Lol, I definitely know that name from Mastodon! :)
Yep I am on Mastodon
Lmao these idiots are on a power trip already. Running the biggest instance in the ground is a great way to start it all off. Fucking idiots.
So I’ve seen u/loudWaterEnjoyer suggest the Divisions by zero instance, which I applied for (be sure to follow the vetting rules!), and u/Historical_General mentioned and suggested the lemm.ee and lemmy.ml instances, but it appears that the .ml TLD throws a “registration_closed” error…
Anybody have any other suggestions for backups and secondary accounts, that aren’t
lemmy.dbzer0.com ,
lemm.ee , or
lemmy.ml
??
you’re welcome to make an account at lemdro.id
On my way!! Thank you!!
Lmao removeds. I’m leaving
I am glad I chose a instance with a lower userbase
Well, I was already planning to spin up my own instance. Guess this is as good of motivation as I needed.
They should moove to burggit.moe lol they have a no DMCA takedown policy.
Love that someone made LASIM, just wish there was also a mobile workaround so I don’t have to use the laptop just to continue enjoying Lemmy every time something like this happens and I have to jump instances.
I want a tool that can do the same thing for whole communities. Seems like there might be a day where communities would like to migrate for one reason or another. While you could simply stand up a new community on the new instance and then attempt to get everyone to move over, that’s bound to fail if the community is large enough. It would be cool if subscribership would also be able to be moved in the back-end.
It’s coming: sh.itjust.works/post/2924033
Thanks, just created an account at that instance.
Same here
I don’t get it… You can start 100 pirate instances if you want. Just not federate with Lemmy.world.
Cannot say I will miss it, they are a bunch of assholes over there. I once made a open discussion post there about asking people’s preferred media to pirate and I got lots of derailing responses. And when I told one of them that their jokes sucked, they went rabid.
And they are all ebeggars too. Fuck them.
“open discussion” “derailing responses”
What?
Yeah, that’s the kind of responses I got. Snarky piece of shit responses. Glad you’ve proven to be an example. Did you peak in middle school?
Good. Piracy is illegal and immoral.
Free content go brrrr
Go back to school.
The legal and moral be first to swing from the yardarm, matey and you may lay to that. 🏴☠️
well lemmy.blahaj.zone doesn’t block it (not sponsored ad)
Wait… What does that mean for me, whose account is on lemmy.dbzer0.com ?
Not following any communities like that, BUT thank you for pointing to that tool! Just used it to create my lemme.ee profile 😊 super neat!
It’s reasons like these that I like to create 2-4 different accounts on different instances for all around the fediverse , so that if one fails I’ve got a backup, but also so I can “pick and choose” which pros and cons of each instance I like.
It’s obviously more to keep track of, but I encourage others to do the same: create like 3 different accounts on different instances, and toggle through them whenever you need something that one offers that another doesn’t.
Good ridance! piracy jeopardizes the stability of !Lemmy.world If you want to be a pirate, do stupid illegal shit fine, but don’t drag everyone else with you
Fuck off!
This is a free platform, i can have my own opinions, so you fuck off
Bout the size of it.
Can someone give me another instance that’s decent and isn’t DDOSd to hell?
Get over it. Maybe try paying for shit instead of stealing.
People gonna look out for their legal selves. Can’t be mad about that. I moved to avoid the occasional downtimes. Extra benefit that monero doesn’t block these communities. I know they’re hosted in Germany so maybe that’s the difference?
Am I glad that I just switched instance anyway, I only subscribed to one of those previously but now I will subscribe to all three just because I can!
Rule #1 say “Be respectful”, but reading this kind of bullshit… How the f*ck you can be respectful with those…!?
How does this work? I thought only users can block specific communities. My account is on Lemmy.world, but if I’m reading community on lemmy.dbzer0.com, that stuff is stored their server, so why does lemmy.world lock me out of reading it?
You are not reading content from lemmy.dbzer0.com unless you specifically have only that at the beginning of the address. If you have lemmy.world instead, it means you are trying to view content cached there, which no longer exists.
I didn’t know this was a feature of Lemmy? Won’t it just repopulate from whoever is subscribed to that community?
It's a feature of the fediverse at large. I know Kbin.social as a whole is currently blocked by a couple mastodon instances. We haven't ever done anything, we just haven't blocked some others that mastodon doesn't want to deal with and they're passing judgement about the users we may attract. I've never seen one block only one community out of an instance, but it's not surprising that they could.
All lemmy.world accounts are officially unable to so much as see new content from there, so no, it physically can't repopulate. However, the admins will have to play whack-a-mole for a good while every time another one crops up and I'm getting the sense that unlike my fool's errand of blocking every sports community, they stand to be sued out of existence if they fail.
Maybe a bit rich coming from someone who doesn't have to pick up and move, but it's well-known to be an overloaded server anyway and after the initial Beehaw shock, the concept is really whatever to me. Probably new users will always have that shock, but mostly what it accomplishes is to encourage people to spread out and keep alts if they have too much FOMO.
Time to find another server. Lemmy World has lost the plot.
Will we still have access to other similar communities in federated instances or are those blocked too?
Booo
Has this been reversed?
I need help. Can someone log in to lemmy dbzer0? I cant, every time I try I get a 400 bad request error.

The chilling effect works. Can’t you run an instance anonymously, or do you have to give PII to set one up?
pankuleczkapl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
You can do it totally anonymously, you just need a server with docker that can’t be linked to you. There are many ways (legal or not) to acquire such server, and afterwards it’s simple.
