Welcome to Lemmy, I’m one of the devs and admins for this instance.

Being pro-piracy, and allowing torrent magnet links 🏴‍☠️ , is one of the original reasons I started working on lemmy ( even a lot of the better reddit alts refuse to allow magnet links, or be pirate-friendly).

One of the best ways to keep the stream alive, is by decentralizing the ways we find and access content. Torrents do this directly for data, but I hope that lemmy, as a federated reddit alternative, can eventually serve as a platform to aggregate, post, and comment on pirated data in a decentralized way.

More info about Lemmy including docs, how federation works, and a good onboarding site.

Welcome aboard!

    I’m surprised that the Reddit admins haven’t realized that digital piracy isn’t stealing/theft, because no one is being deprived of anything. The files are being copied, not moved, and the original is still in the hands of the publisher. AFAIK, the only form of digital theft would be to delete/move files from a remote server/PC, hacked or not.
