Depending on the instance where the new piracy community is hosted, it could be a thousand times better than the original subreddit.
On Reddit you could openly discuss piracy, but had to be extremely careful with links and directly mentioning any specific tool or service. And yeah, using a base64 encode on a URL was often not good enough.
But host a Lemmy instance in a country that doesn’t care about digital piracy and you’re golden. In fact, if you’re not for profit in anyway (including ads) even Brazil would work, but I’m sure there are even better choices out there.
