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.

Considering the bullshit spewed by them to justify their ban of pro-Luigi comments, claiming they consulted a lawyer, I doubt this ever happened.

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!

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

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

Lemmy.org doesn't require an email to sign up. And as far as I can tell you see all the same stuff as lemmy.world.
