That’s awesome! Honestly, the move away from Reddit is probably the best thing that could happen to our community. r/Piracy was always a few DMCAs away from not existing anymore. I’m not super familiar with how Lemmy works under the hood, but from what little I do understand, I think we’re probably safer here.
Fundamentally the risk to the community is similar, all it takes is for an instance administrator to decide to nuke the community and there’ll be nothing we can do about it. But unlike on Reddit, there’s no single administrator that can nuke every piracy community. There will always be a piracy community somewhere on Lemmy, even if it isn’t this one
The instance owner is an anarchist that doesn’t care about copyright. We aint shutting down unless he gets sued, and the case also needs standing. As long as we dont link directly to pirated content, we’re fine.
