Haha I don't mean that kind of censorship, I mean in terms of piracy.
LOL, that makes sense. I didn't notice the sub...err..community I was in.
Genuinely it would be best for someone to make a piracy-focused instance in a country that has loose copyright laws. Then we can have separate communities for each type of piracy. i.e. a main piracy.co.ck website, then a !piracy community just for general piracy discussion and news, communities for books (!books, !textbooks), communities for movies (!movies, !moviesespañol, !moviesbollywood), individual communities for different game consoles (!pc, !switch, !ps3, !amstradcpc), and so on and so forth.
To help with server load we could even maybe set it up so nobody can make accounts on it and can only make posts from accounts on other servers? I don't know if that would help or is a possible configuration but it's worth a thought I think.
Would be interested in it as well. Whole reddit fiasco shows us that monopoly sooner or later will be abused
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.
I think you mixed them up. njal.la accepts Monero, but I think 1984.is doesn't. https://njal.la/pricing/. At least I couldn't see Monero as an option on 1984.is
Oh interesting! Last I checked Njalla was Bitcoin/Ethereum only but glad they accept XMR now. I run a 1984 VPS so can confirm that they accept XMR. I prefer them as they're cheaper than Njalla (only a little bit still)
There might be some issues with lemmy.ml itself after a while, but the community should be able to move to a different instance if it becomes a problem on one.
It's federated so if you run into any issues you can always make another
I mean nobodies called me the n word yet so I guess it's pretty tame
I heard lemmy.ml bans/removes things critical of China/CCP, but haven't tested it yet. Maybe someone may chime in with experiences.
I heard
If you're going to say something like that you should back it up with evidence.

here's the proof you asked for, including mod logs.
TLDR: posts critical of the Chinese ruling party seems to be getting taken down, including mainstream news articles
that being said, I personally just arrived here, have had zero censorship experiences here so far, and am hoping for the best
God damn that is so disturbing. I'm already losing hope for this platform if things like this are already happening. People should be free to speak as they please.
If you disagree, dispute the argument. I cannot stand ban culture!
