    *piracy

    Yes, that’s one of the restrictions. I also think you can’t see your users’ comments. (perhaps posts too, I am uncertain)

    If you’re not interested in following something there or it’s not a topic you’re interested in, it’s alright. You could always create another account somewhere else or browse their instance anonymously.

    The good thing about Lemmy is that you can always switch to another instance in the future. I started for a few months on .world and then moved to lemmy.blahaj.zone.

    Welcome! I hope you have a great time here and I’m glad people are moving :)

      They only specifically block the piracy community on db0’s instance, to my knowledge.

        It was such a weird argument to block it as well. The justification given was that they were concerned that they would be held legally responsible if users saw piracy content on their website.

        It was such a bizarre argument. It seemed more like they had decided on personal grounds that they wanted to block it, and then tried to come up with some kind of external justification. It was the lack of intellectual honesty that pissed me off more than the fact that they’d done it.

      Ooooops, I didn’t realise @yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone meant _piracy_🏴‍☠️ it was late when I replied.😅

      Anyway, thanks for letting me know!
