As we’ve all known and talked about quite a lot, we previously blocked several piracy-focused communities. These communities, as announced, were:
!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com,
!steamdeckpirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com,
!piracy@lemmy.ml, and their local counterparts as follow up actions.
In our removal announcement, we stated that we will continue to look into this more in detail, and re-allow these communities if and when we deem it safe. It was a solid concern at the time, because we were already receiving takedown requests as well as constant attacks, and didn’t want to put our volunteer team at risk. We had zero measures in place, and the tools we had were insufficient to deal with anything at scale.
Well, after back and forth with some very cool people, and starting to have proper measures as well as tooling to protect ourselves, we decided it’s time to welcome these communities back again. Long live the IT nerds!
We know it’s been a rough ride with everything, and we’d like to thank every one of you who were understanding of us, and stayed with us all the way. Please know that as users, you are what makes this platform what it is, and damned we be if we ever forget it.
With love, and as always, stay safe in the high seas!
We’ll see you battling takedown requests and not being paud to do so.

“We love you… unless it’s not in our best interest to do so.”
It’s a FOSS not-for-profit social media platform. I don’t also expect unconditional love. LMAO

Don’t you have a subreddit to try to be funny in?
Lemmy instances are run by VOLUNTEERS! Lemmy.world is not a COMPANY. A company can have an army of lawyers. An instance run by VOLUNTEERS cannot.
You’re acting like lemmy.world is ran by a corporation with plenty of power to fight back.
That’s kind of how it should work everywhere though. Cher figured that out about Sonny eventually for instance.
