Six months later, a new Removal of piracy communities announcement confirmed that these communities had been removed. [!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com](/c/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.

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

I've been on a few instances. Was on lemm.ee before owner-fatigue. Joined a couple since, but lemmy.zip felt closer to my old instance than any other. Super transparent admin and one of the reasons I have a monthly donation set up. Got good quality folks here, also!

They did not admit it. I don't think anyone could have have proof they didn't. Only the ridiculousness of their arguments.

Hey Cris,

As someone else said in the comments, https://lemmy.zip/ is very nice. You can see the monthly updates from the admins on !home@lemmy.zip

And if you want to give Piefed a chance, they have https://piefed.zip/ as well

You can import your Lemmy.world settings and blocks from the account settings

Thanks! Previously I had looked for a way to import settings and was unable to find it so that held me up, but I got all my comms imported so I'm gonna give piefed.zip a try as my new instance ☺️

Username is slightly different now, it was probably time for it to change

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thank you! I really appreciate the help ☺️

Hope you have a lovely day blaze!
