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:
Indeed, might it be a good idea for the very long term, keeping an account active for a decade plus I mean, ensuring you have access to everything and all communities etc, to run your own instance that’s literally just for you, not publicly available?
It would cost pennies, after all. I was thinking about it.
(Setting up a private small group and sharing the burden of cost sounds even better. In that case there would be 5-15 people with limited/closed sign up)
Could you explain how it’s pennies, rather than over $100 a year for the domain and the server?
Server is “free” in that it can run on the computer you already have, with the Internet connection you already have. Domain registration is fairly cheap, I last paid $65 for 5 years. I haven’t shopped around in a while so there could be cheaper options. SSL cert can be had for free though you will have to renew it every 3 months, but that can often be automated…
