Six months later, a new Removal of piracy communities announcement confirmed that these communities had been removed. [!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com](/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com), which was the most popular piracy community, is still inaccessible to lemmy.world users. This is misleading: users see the old post, sign-up, and then find out they cannot access the community.

Please edit the original post to include the new removal announcement.

To be fair to others less knowledgeable, I've seen first hand someone admitting they joined .ml because it was the first/largest server they learned about, not knowing it was a marxist-leninist joint, and they were asking how to transfer their account up on outta there. That was a fun thread lol

My point is, just like we can't judge people based on their national origin, we shouldn't judge people from their home instance. But as a general rule, yeah .ml reeks lol

Idk if you're on grad I feel like you definitely know what you signed up for.

I agree but think its also different depending on context.

Like if someone has thousands of contributions and their account is 6 months + old. Hell yeah I can judge them on the instance they use. Because they have had plenty of time and opportunity to learn and change.

A new user on the otherhand. I won’t.

I myself have both a defunct world and ML account from a long time ago when I first joined the threadiverse.
