    The Pirate Bay also doesn’t host content, just links to torrents. Why has it been taken down then several times already?

    When you directly link pirated content it becomes a liability. Doesn’t matter if the actual content is on your own server or hosted with a third party.

      c/[email protected] rule 3:

      Don’t request or link to specific pirated titles
      

      Literally wasn’t even an issue. Its a bad take by power tripping admins spurred on by a troll. All-round terrible decision.

      Also comparing a Lemmy community to Pirate Bay is a gross exaggeration.
