!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
It's blocked from lemmy.world. I'd recommend using LASIM and migrating to another instance like https://lemm.ee/ (note: you will need to manually resubscribe to !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com on your new account, since LASIM won't be able to see it).
Btw, that user has also requested deletion of !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com on lemm.ee and it is in consideration. If this is the reason for your switch, I'd wait for their action.
That user has actually not been in contact with any of our admins, I'm not sure why they are claiming otherwise.
In any case, I shared my position on piracy on lemm.ee a few months ago, and it has not changed. TL;DR discussions about piracy are fine, but explicitly facilitating piracy on lemm.ee is not allowed, and if any such content is reported on lemm.ee then I will most likely err on the side of removing it. Having said that, I am not planning to defederate lemmy.dbzer0.com at this point, as they have not been causing any issues for lemm.ee (but, of course, I do reserve the right to re-evaluate federation with any instance if at any point they start causing problems for lemm.ee).
Quoting my original comment about piracy on lemm.ee, just for full context:
Thanks for the reply and stating your position. I'd understand deletion if you were served a legal notice for a post/comments.
Honestly, just make an account on lemmy.dbzer0.com. Can't lose access to it then.
Fair. Personally I'm just sh.itjust.works as my alt instance.
I love shit just works but the Dude has to cover his ass legally and he may be forced to do something similar if Canadian law is also bootlicking the record companies.
Where can we learn more about that user or their request?
You can browse to it via !support@lemmy.world or see the post directly https://lemmy.world/post/3175920
EDIT: Lemmy.world seems to be down right this second so you may not be able to load it, LOL.
He claimed he DMed the admins. I can't see any public post about it.
I forgot the link but it's in one of my old comments in this very thread.
