The reddit piracy community was in a neverending struggle to avoid being banned from the site, constantly censoring and restricting what people could post to keep the reddit admins happy. What’s the situation with that sort of thing on lemmy? Is it a free for all? Same situation as back there? Something in between? I guess we may all find out together…

    Hey, I’d strongly recommend using njal.la or 1984.is to get a VPS and run your own instance from it. Both services are organisationally designed to fend off DMCA and other takedown notices. Like literally, the Njalla creator has a whole page where he mockingly replies to such requests.

    Njalla is based in Sweden, 1984 in Iceland. Both accept anonymous crypto payments, but only 1984 accepts Monero.

    More generally, I’d recommend these two services to anyone interested in running an instance catered to “risky” topics like piracy.
