I've begun blocking their communities in my accounts and I plan to defederate from them when i get home. Fuck em. Place is infested with exploding heads anyway.

Ia there a list somewhere of insurances that do NOT blck piracy?
Also just a quick yes or no question: does lemmy.ml block piracy?
I guess the only instance guaranteed to not block piracy is the one at which the community itself is hosted

We just doubled our numbers somehow! Look at all these new users joining the fediverse 😅
I know that is what broke the camels back for me, not that I personally partake in piracy but, it concerns me because if that is being done, what else could be being done. I understand the legal ramifications of the storage of it but, idk it just put a bad taste in my mouth, it was the first instance of censorship that didn't make full sense and was made due to a random account that was downvoted to oblivion, was super concerning. I still have an account on it but, it made me aware I needed more variety
I joined over there because, funnily enough, that was on of the few instances not blocked by my work. 🤷

Honest question, is there an app or frontpage that would allow to mix instances that are not federated? Unless an instance has access to everything, having two accounts will show a lot of duplicated contentent (for example, in "all" it will show technology@lemmy.world in likely all instances)
It would be simpler just to pick an instance that to date refuses to defederate from anyone. I use SDF, and I picked it in part for that reason.
I also don't think they're going anywhere, since SDF has been around continuously since the 80s (literally started as an anime BBS) and still runs a lot of services that would seem unusual to care about these days (including having a gopher server), so I figure their Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Matrix, etc instances aren't going anywhere.

As an alternative to lemmy.world I would like to suggest my own instance endlesstalk.org.
I have no plans to deferate or ban anything releated to piracy. Only thing that might change my mind would probably be a company taking legal action against me.
I also strive to have as little downtime as possible and keep everything running smoothly.

Is there an official blocked communities list and defederated list for each instance? Also can you have the same username on a different instance? I fear we are going to lose people who don't really care that much about the federation stuff and just want to use Lemmy like reddit. Although I guess reddit is similar in that they decide what communities are allowed as well...
Yes you can have the same username on different instances, similar to how email addresses work
Don't think there's an easy way to see blocked communities, but it's easy to see blocked instances with the instances link at the bottom of the page
