Hello World!
As we’ve all known and talked about quite a lot, we previously blocked several piracy-focused communities. These communities, as announced, were:
- !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com,
- !steamdeckpirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com,
- !piracy@lemmy.ml, and their local counterparts as follow up actions.
In our removal announcement, we stated that we will continue to look into this more in detail, and re-allow these communities if and when we deem it safe. It was a solid concern at the time, because we were already receiving takedown requests as well as constant attacks, and didn’t want to put our volunteer team at risk. We had zero measures in place, and the tools we had were insufficient to deal with anything at scale.
Well, after back and forth with some very cool people, and starting to have proper measures as well as tooling to protect ourselves, we decided it’s time to welcome these communities back again. Long live the IT nerds!
We know it’s been a rough ride with everything, and we’d like to thank every one of you who were understanding of us, and stayed with us all the way. Please know that as users, you are what makes this platform what it is, and damned we be if we ever forget it.
With love, and as always, stay safe in the high seas!

I don’t care dude lol. Why should I post this, we have always tried to be as transparent as possible over at Lemmy World. But we’re not going to release documents that would allow doxxing.
If it helps, Google publicly releases dmca notices that they receive on lumendatabase.org, with some details censored.
I mean, let alone that it’s probably not a good idea to poke the bear with an expensive legal team. It doesn’t always matter that you’re not doing anything wrong, if they can bleed you dry with legal fees instead.
You would redact IP addresses and other sensitive information. That’s a pretty basic given. Regardless, you made a claim and can’t back it up therefore it didn’t happen. It’s really not a matter of you caring or not, it’s a matter of you just making stuff up.
It really is a matter of not caring. I wouldn’t waste my time either. It doesn’t matter.
I’m not even on LW but I think they have already gone out of their way to explain everything. But it’s never enough for some people. “I don’t believe you” ok sir have a nice day 👋
