MODERATORS
I personally never complained about piracy being removed from Reddit, it makes sense from a legal perspective.
The advantage of Lemmy is that all of the other instances still have that community.
Piracy subreddits still exist on Reddit. Lemmy.world admins are apparently blocking communities that even Reddit allows.
Reddit has lawyers that the Lemmy admins cannot afford.
Sounds like you're assuming there was some legal issue that triggered this community blocking? Lemmy.world admins did not receive any legal notices prior to this action, it was just their kneejerk response to a troll from another instance.
