“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. !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, 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.
People don’t want to switch.
Then they’re the same as the Reddit users who refuse to move. It’s not hard to move to a different Lemmy/PieFed instance, that’s our strength. You can export your account data and import it to your new instance so your subscriptions transfer.
But your upvotes and comment history don’t.
Sure but IDK that just doesn’t seem important. That’s the same issue we had switching from Reddit to Lemmy. My Reddit posts aren’t gone and neither are my programming.dev posts, I’m here on retrolemmy.com now and I’m fine leaving my old account behind. If I need to edit an old post then I’ll open programming.dev but that doesn’t bother me.
Well tbf idk what you expect people on other instances to do about it lol
Then admins have no reasons to change anything
People want access to the defederated instances, on lemmy.world.
People also wanted API access on Reddit in 2023, and here we are
Reddit refused access to API, and people left reddit.
Lemmy.world is refusing access to the pirate instances.
By your logic, people should leave Lemmy.
No, by the same logic you should consider leaving lemmy.world.
People who want to access that community should leave lemmy.world, since it doesn’t seem like the admins want to unblock it. There are other lemmy instances, along with Piefed and mbin too.
Notice how ‘here’ is no longer reddit
