    They only specifically block the piracy community on db0’s instance, to my knowledge. It’s definitely not a full instance ban anymore

      It was such a weird argument to block it as well. The justification given was that they were concerned that they would be held legally responsible if users saw piracy content on their website.

      It was such a bizarre argument. It seemed more like they had decided on personal grounds that they wanted to block it, and then tried to come up with some kind of external justification. It was the lack of intellectual honesty that pissed me off more than the fact that they’d done it.
