    I love all the salty comments about having to move. Its piracy, it will always be removed if it becomes too popular. This is how it has always been and always will be. No one is obligated to feed you free shit without any effort on your part. They take one place down and you move on. Either get used to it or start paying for services.

      I don’t understand why everyone is so shocked they did it. Hosting information on pirating stuff is a lightning rod for lawsuits and Lemmy.world is large enough to actually get noticed.

      I’m only surprised it took them that long to block it.

      BBS to IRC to P2P to torrent with all manner of shady websites and other crap thrown in. That’s just in my Internet life from 2002. I never used BBS but I was aware of them. Registering a new account is nothing compared to how much harder it used to be pirating stuff.

      Exactly. If you’re someone who engages in piracy, you should be quite used to putting in this type of effort.

        I doubt the majority of people even know what IRC is. A lot of people just want free shit without having to do any work.

      Also surprised to read the whining about the whining.

      “Without any effort on your part”

      Yeah you’re right, as a world citizen we all get automatically created accounts for all Lemmy instances /s

                Reeeeeeeee my piracy isn’t easy, I have to make accounts and actually search for alternatives when things get shut down.

                For the record, I pirated for years when I had no money. if you want easy access go pay for it. If you want free shit get in your dinghy and sail the seas. No one is obligated to host piracy forums and servers. Take yo ass to an instance that allows it. I bet you’re the type to torrent everything, not even have the decency to seed and then bitch about not finding good seeds for things you want.
