All the piracy subs I can find are dead, quiet, or too niche. I'd love to be part of an effort to bring reliable and maintained information about how to safely pirate to lemmy. It's actually one of the most frustrating things about switching from reddit. Are we puritanical here or something? If we had active piracy scenes I pretty much wouldn't have to be on reddit at all anymore.

On lemmy.world it is dead, you need to pop over to DB0 or ml.

The world admins have the stance that they don't want to host or directly link to piracy content because of the legal trouble it may bring as it's hosted in the Netherlands and the piracy rules are different here.

This is news to me so thanks for the heads up.

I'm awaiting my db0 approval now.

You don't need to be registered there. Just at one that's federated with it.

yaarrrr matey! i did the same when I learned of .worlds nonsense on this

i don't even really interact with the piracy comm but who tf do you think you are blocking my access to it? i wanna say they have no right but they do so that's why I took my ball and went to play with the anarchists :)

read bread book

Good torrent for Petr Kropotkin's "the conquest of bread"?

That honestly was my favorite thing to do. Torrent and seed public domain and foss things like books and isos. It led to a couple false cease and dissets which was really funny telling them they were wrong.

[–] nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

I'm not sure about a torrent but that link is to it hosted in plaintext with a bunch of download options on https://theanarchistlibrary.org/

that's really funny though, id imagine it's a delicious satisfaction telling an ISP (or whoever else?) to respectfully shove it
