Piracy communities remain blocked on lemmy.world despite "Unremoval of Piracy Communities" announcement

That’s why I run my own instance, dont like others decide what must be censored for me.
Would love to know how to do that. Like to not be censored.

Thanks will look into this.

“Unremoval of Piracy Communities” https://lemmy.world/post/6018317
This post needs to be updated to reflect the current policy.
Six months later, a new Removal of piracy communities announcement confirmed that these communities had been removed.
[email protected], which was the most popular piracy community, is still inaccessible to lemmy.world users. This is misleading: users see the old post, sign-up, and then find out they cannot access the community.Please edit the original post to include the new removal announcement.
Laughs in @lemmy.dbzer0.com.

People have had 2 years to switch to another instance. Lemmy.zip, used by OP, is nice.
We wouldn’t want anyone forgetting, now would we?

So you run your own instance and federate with other instances as you please? How are you hosting it / is it doable via docker?
Yes I use docker, I have documented my effort here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy
It was pretty easy and require zero maintenance, just remember to update the containers. Space utiliztion and resources are pretty low, depending on how many communities you subscribe.
Also, I host it at home (with public reachable ip of course)

You say that as if it’s a gotcha, not a boon

If censorship is what’s being criticized, it’s no different. This is why I tell people not to use db0.
Used to be the first thing we’d suggest but it’s just become such a nanny instance that jumps on everyone’s shit.

IIRC when it was implemented in the first place, it seemed like lemmy.world had actually been contacted by some stakeholder with a DMCA-style request, even though the community was not actually originating on lemmy.world. Explaining how federation worked to lawyers didn’t matter much and with .world at the time becoming one of the larger and more visible instances that seemed like the best way to avoid the headaches. Initially they defederated with dbzer0 entirely before developing a way to block just the community.
Considering the bullshit spewed by them to justify their ban of pro-Luigi comments, claiming they consulted a lawyer, I doubt this ever happened.

Much appreciated. Seems very detailed
Just an odour question from me because I don’t know. How does federation work? Do you need to specifically federate with everyone or just those you don’t want to federate with

Thanks for sharing.
Have you had any issues with other, larger instances not federating with you? (just because your small, they don’t want to risk being spammed by trolls/bots/etc)
This would be my only concern in hosting my own instance.

We vote on who we want to defederate from. Our vote threads even have cool pirate themed images and stuff.

They even make less content an event so you can celebrate your own loss?

Things are done there by consent. I see that’s something you don’t approve of.

Is it a known thing that they were dishonest about speaking to a lawyer with that situation?
I’ve been meaning to change instances and find a new home, if it’s known that they lied or mislead their users thats something I’d love to know more about

IDK that just doesn’t seem important.
I’m fine leaving my old account behind.
Then we have different viewpoints. I’m very much NOT ok with leaving my old account behind.
If AI hadn’t banned me on reddit, I’d be much happier over there. I’d have my old account, and all my post history going back 10 years. Which by this point would be more like 12 or 13 years.
It’s not important to you, but it’s important to me. Just because youhave an opinion doesn’t make it “the right way”. Everyone can have different opinions, and thats ok.
Literally 3 months after I got here, and started figuring out how the fediverse worked, I was calling for changes. Quite frankly, what I thought the fediverse was is a lot cooler than what it actually is.
I can post a picture here from pixelfed, but it’s no different than posting a picture from imgur.
So the account history is all I have to look back at.
Everyone can have different opinions, and thats ok.
Wrong. My opinions are the only correct ones.

Would you really be happier in the den of nazis, bots and shills?
I’m passing by this discussion and just inserting myself in here to say: I’d be happier if reddit was more like it was when I joined - when it wasn’t the den of nazis, bots, and shills. Although the admins have always been libertarians^[:hissssss:] and protective of the fascist point of view… but at least in the old days it wasn’t as pervasive.
But that aside, I agree with you in general.

My flair on that account from presumably another thread is “neoliberal troll”
So I think it’s just bait.
As I am a Lemmy n00b, can you direct me on what to do to be able to flair users? I like most of the Lemmy method of things, but as an old.reddit user using RES… I’m finding the options a little limited over here so far.
