lemmy.world blocked the largest piracy community in all of lemmy

The largest piracy community is hosted over at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
lemmy.world has blocked it. It appears to have also blocked !piracy@lemmy.ml.
If this is a problem for you, I'd suggest migrating accounts using LASIM to an instance that doesn't block it (such as lemm.ee).
edit:
An official announcement has been made:
You're viewing a single thread.
That's disappointing. Guess I'll join another instance.
Yeah same. No risk unless your hosting content, weak from the lemmy admins.
They've recruited a lot of volunteers from various places around the world who could individually have some legal exposure I suppose but yes... It's a bit disappointing overall.
I assume all instances have rules and how far out there you want to go is up to you. Someone says lemm.ee doesn't block these sites but rule 2 of that site is No Illegal Content which could arguably cover piracy related groups. Doesn't stop you just having an alt on the server hosting this stuff you want to look at however. Just be aware that if stuff is illegal and it's illegal in the jurisdiction the server is hosted in then it's unlikely to last long.
If someone hosted a server out of Switzerland it wouldn't be an issue.
Literally the best thing to do is spread the load and increase our diversity of instances and communities elsewhere other than one big one, to keep it sustainable.
lemm.ee, lemmy.ml, .cafe even all are calling for users. Use browser.feddit.de to find others.
